Released on March 8, Vikas Bahl’s supernatural horror film has already emerged as the second-highest-grossing Hindi film of 2024 and the fifth-highest-grossing Indian film of 2024, earning Rs 153.6 crore worldwide.

On Tuesday, Shaitaan witnessed an overall occupancy of 12.95 per cent in the Hindi market. While the morning shows saw a 9.07 per cent occupancy, the rate improved throughout the day, albeit at a snail’s pace, recording 12.65 per cent in the afternoon, 13 per cent during the evening shows, and peaking at 17.06 per cent during the night screenings.

In her review of the movie, The Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta wrote, “After whetting our appetites with a few well-staged command and control sequences, Ajay Devgn takes over. And how can a hero, even if he has allowed himself to be bashed up and bloodied till then, not win?”
