Parents should know
Strong violence: a girl smashes her brother's head against a banister and cuts her mother's throat. A supernatural thriller where a stranger hypnotises a teenage girl into harming her family, including self-harm and a threat to her mother; critics call it unsettling. Also strong scary or upsetting scenes and moderate sexual content. Reviews report no bad language.

Parents ask
Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is Shaitaan OK for kids?
Filmi puts Shaitaan at 12+ — suitable for 12 and over. The CBFC certified it U/A. That comes from the certificate and from what reviewers documented, not from anyone at Filmi watching the film — every claim on this page is quoted with its source.
What age is Shaitaan suitable for?
12+, based on the CBFC rating of U/A. 4 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Shaitaan?
What the record shows: violence — strong; language — none, documented; sex or nudity — moderate; drink or drugs — not on record; frightening scenes — strong. A category left blank means nobody documented it, not that the film is clean — the full record, quoted with sources, is on this page.
Did the censor board cut anything from Shaitaan?
The CBFC certified it U/A with no published cut list. That is not the same as the film being uncut — only that no modification was published.
