Shaitan Review

Shaitan is all about stylish filmaking...Looks like that the director and anurag kashyap himself wanted to make a movie which is quite inspired from tarrantino's style of filmaking....But what the movie miss out is a tight script...specially the initial 30 minutes or so doesn't impress as it looks like a story of completely rotten, gone cases of rich young kids....But its actually the 2nd half where the weak script is taken over by some real good photography, angles, cuts, and execution style where you balance ghory scenes with background scores that makes it interesting to watch....Specially the sequence of gun fight with nigerian durg peddlars and the chase scene by rajeev khandelwal were just awesome.....i have never seen in bollywood such stylish execution of scenes.....overall the style of the execution scores over many weaknesses the movie has and makes it a delightful watch....strongly recommended....

However having said that as a critic i felt 'Ready' will easily qualify as one of the worst movies ever made as it just made no sense....but then theory and business always do not g...
