Description:
Shaitan (2011) is a Hindi neo-noir crime thriller that follows five young friends in Mumbai—Amy, Dash, KC, Zubin, and Tanya—whose carefree, reckless lifestyle spirals into chaos after a hit-and-run accident. To avoid getting caught, they fake a kidnapping to extort ransom from Amy’s father, but their plan unravels disastrously, leading to betrayal, violence, and moral collapse. As the situation worsens, a suspended cop, Arvind Mathur, takes on the case, uncovering the dark secrets behind the facade of privilege and rebellion. The film explores themes of guilt, youth disillusionment, and the consequences of unchecked freedom.
