What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics largely agree Madhavan's villain and the cast carry Shaitaan, with several calling it a gripping, well-acted remake, but many fault a thin, predictable climax and an underdeveloped, sometimes insensitively handled villain backstory.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 19 readings; 10 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
