Shaitan (2023) S01 Hindi Dubbed

After attempting an Shaitan attack on the Home Minister, Baali is on the run. What happens when he chooses the path of violence?… The story isn’t something novel, but what makes the show watchable is its gritty backdrop. Initially, the series depicts the atrocities faced by a family, which helps us empathize with the characters.

Shaitan very well does justice to its tagline, “You call it a crime, they call it survival.” What made the character Baali evolve into a criminal has been neatly presented. Rishi, as Baali, did a stupendous job. The young Kannada actor fits the bill perfectly as a criminal, and he amuses one and all with his remarkable performance. He is intense in the action sequences and successfully portrayed the various emotions present in Baali’s character. Ravi Kale gets a major role, and the actor aced it to perfection. Others like Shelly, Deviyani, Jaffer Sadiq, and Kamakshi Bhaskarla did justice to their roles. The last few episodes of the series are interesting. Elements like fake encounters, gross injustice faced by a few individuals in society, and how a few treat women as mere objects of desire are convincingly shown. A few dialogues are hard-hitting. There have been many films that have come in the Naxal backdrop, but unfortunately, the makers are highlighting only the feud between the Police and the Naxals. Very little are we shown about the Naxal’s ideology and what their principles actually are. Shaitan, too falls in the same category. Except for a scene, there is hardly anything that talks about their agenda. As the show is centered on them, ideally, there should have been more scenes that portray their purpose and goals.
