Reception

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu stated "Viewers are advised to watch it in isolation and use headphones, given the use of profane language, violence and sexual content. This one is not out to please family audiences and aims to be in the space of Hindi series such as Sacred Games, Paatal Lok and Mirzapur."[6]

English Jagran also opined similar "If you love crime thrillers like 'Mirzapur' and 'Paatal Lok', then 'Shaitan' is for you."[7]

Sakshi rated 2.5 stars out of 5 and opined "With an emotionally well-rounded story, the series would have been a winner."[8]

A critic from Telangana Today wrote "There are many scenes in ‘Shaitan’ that make you cringe."[9]

OTTPlay gave mix review "There was so much being said about this show by a section of the media stating that such violent shows and dark content should be censored before screening it for the audience."[10]

123Telegu wrote "The realistic backdrop, the solid performances, and the last few episodes are its assets. But the show is highly predictable for the most part, and a few pivotal aspects lacked depth."[11]

The series was also reviewed by Hindustan Times,[12] Eenadu,[13] Asianet News.[14]
