Shaitan (film)

Megha Ramaswamy

Shaitan starts off with Amy Kalki Koechlin, who is mentally disturbed and deeply affected by the attempted suicide and eventual institutionalisation of her mother. She moves from Los Angeles to Mumbai, where she meets KC Gulshan Devaiya at a party her parents forcefully take her to. KC introduces her to his gang Dash Shiv Pandit, Zubin Neil Bhoopalam and Tanya Kirti Kulhari. They lead a directionless life, having fun, drinking, using drugs and driving around in a Hummer. On one such occasion, they start racing a random car and win. In the celebration rush, they run over two people riding on a scooter, killing them instantly.They quickly leave the spot but are easily traced down by a slimy cop, Inspector Malwankar Rajkummar Rao, who demands Rupees 2,500,000 41,500 to drop the case. Dash tells them about a friend Rajat Barmecha who faked his own brothers kidnapping and extracted 2million from his own parents. After Amy volunteers to be the kidnapping victim, they hatch a plan. Upon receiving the ransom call, Amys father, contrary to their expectations immediately approaches Police Commissioner Pavan Malhotra for help. The Police Commissioner assigns an upright cop Arvind Mathur Rajeev Khandelwal to solve the case unofficially, as he is on suspension after throwing a corporator from the first floor of his own house for allegedly beating up a woman. Inspector Mathur is shown to be having a disturbed married life and nearly divorces his wife. ........
