Review Shaitaan (2024) and Maa (2025): Shaitaan is very good! Maa is decent but not scary!

genre: horror, thriller, devotional




Shaitaan is an adaptation of the 2023 Gujarati film Vash which also starred Bodiwala who reprises her role in this Hindi version. I read that they have changed the ending. While in general I am against it, in this case I think this was a good decision.








Set in the same universe as Shaitaan, this part goes a different route. It's not bad, but it kind of demonstrates that Indian cinema has trouble going full horror. The few titles that have, always were good, so the talent and quality is there, obviously. But it's probably the film studios not understanding horror.

While I do appreciate the attempt of a shared universe, they do have to follow the line set in Shaitaan. And then I will completely be on board.
