Shaitan - Brilliant movie ...not to be missed at any cost...and of course its not meant for kids (below 18)

Shaitan tells us the story of five youngsters based in Mumbai who lead erratic irresponsible reckless lives.Amy [Kalki], Dash [Gulshan], KC [Shiv], Zubin [Neil] and Tanya [Kirti] -- young, intelligent, good looking and 'uber cool with no hang ups whatsoever and no boundaries, excitement is what they seek till a moment changes everything. A horrendous accident and their actions to cover up lead them through a series of incidents across the roads, streets and bylanes of Mumbai and into the dark side that lurks within all of us.

And yes giving this movie the extra edge there is Inspector Mathur [Rajeev Khandelwal], entrusted with the task of chasing these youngsters down, exposes the underbelly of the police system and crime while facing his inner demon(shaitan) as well

Sometimes I wonder and even wondered during my college how a certain section of youth waste their parents money without even giving a second blink and I think such people caught committing heinous crimes should be severely punished without any sort of sympathy be it a boy or a girl but unfortunately parents being parents become overprotective and does not allow the law to do its own course of duty and the power of money lets these criminals get away with their crime.

I am glad this movie showed no sympathy towards such mislead youth and hit the nails where its supposed to be hit.

Watching this movie is an experience as this is one of a kind and really sets you thinking and yes not a dull moment in this movie during the duration of 2 hour 7 minutes.

Coming to performances - Rajeev Khandelwal, playing a cop who's fighting his inner demons, nails the role, giving a tight, focused performance he should be doing more and more movies not that jerk Abishek Bacchan. Kalki is excellent. . Neil Bhoopalam is fantastic why are these guys seen in movies so rarely. Shiv Pandit is good . Kirti Kulhari is superb . Gulshan Deviah is top notch. The peculiar behavior comes across very well in several sequences. Rajat Barmecha appears in an interesting cameo and has brief but a very important contribution towards this movie.Pavan Malhotra is awesome. Rajit Kapur is good. Nikhil Chinnappa I though was too good. Rukhsar was apt. Rajkumar Yadav gives yet another great performance.

I don't remember any commercial successful Hindi film where I have praised so many actor/actress's performance in the same breath..

Don't miss this one.....
