However, despite its initial success, the film encountered a slight downturn in earnings during the weekdays. This dip in performance was particularly evident on the fifth day, which marked the first Monday post-release.
According to early reports, 'Shaitaan' managed to gross ₹6.50 crores on its inaugural Monday. This figure, while slightly lower than previous days, still contributes significantly to the film's overall box office performance.

The star-studded cast, featuring Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, Jyotika, and Janhvi Bodiwala in pivotal roles, contributes significantly to the film's appeal. Helmed by director Vikas Bahl, 'Shaitaan' follows the journey of Kabir Sethi, portrayed by Ajay Devgn, as he navigates through a contented life with his family. However, a vacation to his farmhouse unravels a series of harrowing events. R Madhavan's character, Vanraj, enters Kabir's life and employs black magic to manipulate his daughter, setting the stage for a chilling tale filled with spine-tingling twists.
