Dinesh has a good job, a new wife and a settled life in Chennai, until a voice in his head begins speaking to him, urging him towards violence and calling him by another name. Doctors suspect a breakdown, but as Dinesh follows the clues the voice gives him, he begins to uncover the story of a woman named Jayalakshmi and a crime from years ago. Saithan is a psychological thriller based on the novel Aah by the celebrated Tamil writer Sujatha, and it was the debut of director Pradeep Krishnamoorthy. Vijay Antony, who also composed the music, continued his line of dark, unusual thrillers after Naan and Pichaikkaran. The opening portions in particular were praised for their tension.
