‘Shaitan’ web series review: Director Mahi V Raghav’s partly engaging survival drama leans heavily on violence and sexual content

The Hindu  

Mahi V Raghav, the showrunner of the recent Telugu comedy-drama series Save the Tigers, explores the other end of the spectrum with Shaitan, the new Telugu web series he has written and directed. Shaitan harks back to the period between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s to narrate the story of a family caught at the crossroads of police brutality, the Naxal movement and the politics of the State.

Mahi Raghav fleshes out characters such that while we do understand their plight and are curious to know their journey, they remain grey-shaded and do not evoke sympathy.
