Guy meeting a girl for the first time and after a minute of conversation, with a joint in his hand asks her “Should we open a Joint Account”; girl meeting a girl for the first time and asks “how many men have you slept with” and then sleepingly asks an even atrociously absurd question “Himani Navratan tail kahan lagati ho?” Another guy repeatedly asking the same girl a question that doesn’t make any sense “Bhaiyya rishta hai yaa gaaali?”. This is SHAITAAN for you. Watched it yesterday night. The movie is unrealistic but still enjoyable especially in the first half. All have acted brilliantly. One of the scenes that drew maximum laughter was when the autowala says to the bad ass cop played superbly by Rajeev Kandelwal, “Vasai Nahin Jayega Sahib”, the cop doesn’t waste time in any discussion and enters the auto after giving a bad kick to him, auto simply zooms to Vasai.
The first half was more like a comedy movie and thoroughly enjoyable. The movie takes the serious tone later in the second half and a dark tone in the last 30 minutes. Not extraordinarily great but overall an enjoyable movie!
