Shaitaan storyline
Shaitaan starts with a possessive yet progressive father Kabir Rishi played by Ajay Devgn taking care of his family. (Spoilers ahead) Kabir Rishi is a CA by profession and loves his family very much. Kabir is among those fathers who give their daughters and sons total freedom to make their own decisions. For instance, Kabir allows his daughter Jahnvi to go on a Ladakh trip along with her ten other friends including boys. Before heading to Ladakh, Kabir and his family decide to go to the farmhouse to spend some family time away from the city. However, what happened next changed their life forever.
Who was Vanraj?
Vanraj played by R Madhavan is a black magician who wants to achieve the ultimate power to possess anyone just by his wish. Vanraj meets Kabir's family at a line hotel where he joins them by talking to them casually. Cunningly, Vanraj gives a laddoo (Sweet) to Jahnvi and she eats it. This is how Janhvi came under the vashikaran of Vanraj. Now, the big question arises why did Vanraj possess Janhvi?
Well, Vanraj had no animosity with Kabir's family. In one of the scenes, Vanraj made it clear that he did not target Kabir's family in particular, however, he needed them to donate their daughter Jahnvi to him. In order to achieve the ultimate power in black magic, Vanraj performed vashikaran on Janhvi. Not only Jahnvi, but Vanraj also abducted a total of 108 girls by performing the same rituals. In the end, Vanraj wanted to kill them all by forcing them to jump into the fire. However, to know what happens next, True Scoop News advises you to watch the black magic thriller on Netflix.
