Shaitan was an awesome movie, so was paanch (except for the ending). There is a complete story behind why. To start with, ending of paanch was pathetic because it didn't live up to the expectation of the movie till about the end. The movie started on a very promising note. It brought out the the real emotions and frustration. The ending with a "plot" was something unacceptable. The director could have just left it at bringing out the real individual emotions. But unfortunately, he wanted to justify it all and put a "human" face to it. Totally unacceptable. I can recognize with Luke, Pondy, Gainda etc for 2 hr 15 min, but after that it just became a MOVIE. Comparatively Shaitan had a better ending with no one betraying as a "plot". It just happened.
Back in 2005, when I had interview calls from a few IIMs, I particularly remember the interview at IIM Bangalore. There was a GD before that, which had a small caselet, which described a guy who was caught cheating (The exact details I dont remember). I was quite vocal in the GD (as always !!). In the interview, one professor asked me, "Why do you support the underdogs?". I was taken aback. But he was right. I was quite supportive of the loser. But to put things in perspective, thats how I have always been. I have always loved the guy who comes second. I am still confused whether I like him because I see potential in him and possibility of improvement or because I feel the world has been unfair to him, which has resulted in him being second, while he should be first.
In Shaitan, I loved the character of Dash. Poor guy, he put so much fight and at the end all that he gets is disgrace, with all his friends testing against him. But that's how the world is. I feel like Dash. In every walk of life.
