The horror-thriller released in cinemas on 8 March, and it opened with Rs 14.75 crore. Directed by Vikas Bahl, Shaitaan is a Hindi adaptation of the 2023 Gujarati horror film Vash, originally written and directed by Krishnadev Yagnik.
In their review of Shaitaan Pratikshya Mishra writes, "Shaitaan doesn't deliver on novelty but it does its best to keep you hooked with the scares. The only issue is that the film's plot soon begins to rapidly unravel and then there's no stopping it."
