Pyasa Shaitan, as the name suggests is about Shaitaan or 'satan' (Joginder), who wants the sacrifice of 7 young women to attain immortality and aspires to become the only messiah of the dark and create a world of flesh, blood, and unrestrained desires. For this he wants to find a suitable man, who would help him succeed in his dangerous intentions.
The Shaitaan finally happens to stumble upon a man (Kamal Hassan), who had been worshipping the Satan himself for many-many years. The man has grown old and wishes to stay young forever. The Shaitaan signs a deal with him granting him temporary youth at first, that would become eternal after the sacrifice of the 7th and the last woman.
Booned by the Shaitaan, the man (who will be called Kamal Hassan after this) goes looking for various women, tempts them with his killing looks and lures them to the sacrificial lair of Satan. Kamal Hassan becomes the slave of Shaitaan, working only in his interest. During this time, he meets several women, and falls for one of them.
The two get married and the woman soon bears a child. The Shaitaan appears before Kamal Hassan and demands sacrifice. Kamal Hassan tells him that he is quite happy with his wife, and does not want to drench her in the pool of blood. The Shaitaan threatens Kamal Hassan to deprive him of his youth. Bewildered by threat, Kamal Hassan now wants to kill his wife.
When his wife comes to know of Kamal's deadly intentions, she runs for her life and gives birth to a baby girl elsewhere. After many years, we see that Kamal Hassan's daughter has now grown young and beautiful. One day she meets a handsome young man and soon gets romantically entangled with him. When her mother comes to know of her affair, she wants to see the guy. Fortunately her daughter has the guy's photo looking at which, the mother faints.
Finally the Shaitaan is killed by the holy forces. The viewers see the Shaitaan being cornered by the holy trident, crescent moon, and a holy cross. So once again, the Shaitaan surrenders to the will of God.
Joginder also wanted to direct a sequel to this movie, however it was never made. The only good thing about this movie is Kamal Hassan, but he seems to have no time to show his acting talents. The movie is plagued by the scary images of Joginder, who squinting away tries hard to look like the genuine cousin of Satan, but fails. The budget seems to be extremely low and there are no known faces than that of Kamal Hassan, Joginder, and Madhu Malhotra's.
The plot is okay, but there are certain scenes that do not mean anything. A viewer is forced to see similar incidents time and again. The spooky camera work adds no value to the main motive of the movie - Implicate Horror. I was bored to death when I saw it on a lazy day. 3/10.
