Taran Adarsh wrote, "Shaitaan: WINNER. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐️ Drama. Thrills. Chills. Shock-value. All enveloped in a near-perfect, captivating plot… This is supernatural genre done right… Unpredictable twists and turns are a big plus… Watch it! #ShaitaanReview The written material gives ample scope to the principal cast to spread their wings… Ajay Devgn excels as the helpless parent; conveys fear, concern and vulnerability with precision… R Madhavan is outstanding; he is savage, vicious and sadistic, all combined, without going overboard. It’s a delight to watch Jyothika on the #Hindi screen after a really long gap. She’s in super form… Janki Bodiwala gets to portray the most difficult part in the film and she does a brilliant job. Director #VikasBahl charters into the supernatural territory for the first time and the execution of the subject keeps you on tenterhooks for most parts… Only thing, the post-interval portions could’ve been sharper and tighter. Last but not the least, a special mention of the terrific background score [#AmitTrivedi], it amplifies the tension and unsettling vibe."
