Story: How Ajay Devgn Fights the Devil (Shaitaan)
Kabir is a dedicated professional accountant who lives a happy life in the peaceful town of Dehradun with his wife Jyoti and their two children, Janhvi and Dhruv. They want to spend valuable time with their family, so they plan a weekend getaway at their farmhouse in a small, remote hill town.
During their trip, they stop at a cute restaurant by the side of the road and meet a man called Vanraj. He is kind enough to offer to buy them tea and then sits down with them. He even gives Janhvi a laddu, which makes things go in a sudden new direction. After eating the laddu, Janhvi starts to behave strangely because she feels like she has to do everything Vanraj says.
When Janhvi gets to the farmhouse, she eats the cookies Vanraj gave her and then goes to the pool with her family. Soon after, Vanraj shows up at the farmhouse and says that the battery in his phone has died. He wants to stay until it’s charged. Jyoti is still not sure how Vanraj knew about their home, even though Kabir agrees. As the day goes on, Vanraj’s presence starts to mess up the way their family works, which causes worry and stress.
When Vanraj says that he has hypnotized Janhvi with black magic to show that he has power over her, things get darker. The family is confused and upset by Janhvi’s strange behavior while he threatens to take her away with him.
Janhvi’s actions become more unpredictable and dangerous when Vanraj gives him bad directions. In a desperate attempt to get help, Jyoti calls the police in secret, but Vanraj’s manipulative orders to Janhvi stop them. Things get worse when Kabir offers Vanraj a lot of money in trade for Janhvi’s freedom, but this doesn’t work either. He still holds her.
As Vanraj’s control over Janhvi grows, the family’s pain hits a breaking point. This sets off a horrifying series of events that end with Vanraj trying to sacrifice Janhvi and other girls in a scary ritual. Kabir does the brave thing of stepping in and facing Vanraj. This frees Janhvi and the other girls from his evil control.
The family is back together again after the ordeal, and the cops praise Kabir for being brave enough to save the girls’ lives. Even though Vanraj has disappeared, Kabir steps in to make sure that Vanraj gets his own kind of justice for the pain he caused Janhvi and the other girls.
In the last act of revenge, Kabir meets Vanraj in a remote area. He holds him responsible for his actions and leaves him to deal with the results of his cruelty.
During this scary event, Kabir’s unwavering desire to protect his family shines through, showing how far a father will go to keep his children safe.
