[6][7] An adaptation of the 2023 Gujarati film Vash which also starred Bodiwala, Shaitaan revolves about a family which finds trouble when their daughter falls under the spell of black magic cast by a stranger, and they set out to stop the possession and uncover the stranger's motives.

[8] Shaitaan was theatrically released on 8 March 2024, coinciding with Maha Shivaratri, to positive reviews from critics, with particular praise going towards the performances of Devgn, Madhavan and Bodiwala.

[10] Kabir Rishi, a chartered accountant, and his wife Jyoti reside in Dehradun, Uttarakhand with their kids, Janhvi and Dhruv.

On a vacation to their farmhouse at a remote hill station, they meet Vanraj Kashyap, an enigmatic man.

Vanraj again offers a packet of biscuit later to Janhvi when she is in the car and ask her to eat it once she reaches the farmhouse.

Seeing police on the door, Vanraj orders Janhvi to switch on the gas cylinder and sit over it by holding a matchstick.

He threatens Kabir and Jyoti that if they tell anything to police, he'll order Jahnvi to burn the matchstick and kill herself.

Vanraj agrees and leaves the house but sets the money on fire, declaring that he has no use for materialistic things; he reveals himself to be a demon who aims to control the world, believing himself to be as good as God.

When her father tries to steal Vanraj's phone, Janhvi tries to deny him and  urinates in her shorts to stop him so she does not have to stab him.

Realising their children might actually die, Kabir and Jyoti give Vanraj the permission to take Janhvi with him.

Jyoti drives Dhruv to the hospital while, unbeknownst to Vanraj, Kabir trails him to his lair, having fixed a tracker in his cellphone earlier.

When the girls try to kill Kabir, he plays an edited recording of Vanraj's voice, in which he declares their freedom.

Earlier, Kabir had taken the home's security camera recording of Vanraj speaking to Janhvi that his father wanted him to release her.
