There is a generous sprinkling of the F word, and juvenile phrases : one is unraveled, for those who do not know, as Kilometer Litre Petrol Diesel. Groan.

What 8 critics are saying
Critics were nearly unanimous in their negative assessment of Shakal Pe Mat Ja, with scores clustering at the low end of the scale. The film's satirical premise targeting terrorism was seen as having some potential on paper, but critics consistently found the execution to be amateurish, juvenile, and ineffective in translating its concept into actual comedy. Common criticisms included crass and lowbrow humor, nonsensical writing, and an overall failure to deliver on its premise. No single element received meaningful praise across reviews, with most critics actively discouraging audiences from watching the film.

5.0The film essentially had in it to be a humble entertainer but it's unfortunate that the potential couldn't be tapped appropriately. So Shakal Pe Mat Ja... apni akal lagaa.

3.0The end product leaves a lot to be desired. If you plan to skip this one, don't worry, you aren't missing out on anything.

3.0On the whole, SHAKAL PE MAT JA is one of those whacked-out satires that sounds far funnier on paper than on screen.

2.0It turns into the ideal family film then, to be enjoyed by the filmmaker's friends and family alone. I peer at the faces around me at the theatre. Of course, you shouldn't go by their looks. Or reviews for that matter. Watch it yourself. Come on, you can do it.

1.0On the whole, Shakal Pe Mat Ja is a poor show from start to finish and will meet with a disastrous fate.

Film review ·
This is a movie on terrorist and terrorism. Supposedly, a soft take. A comedy of sorts. There's Omama, and Al Baquaida. There are also humorous references to airplanes and its use in terror attacks. All very good. But the line of humour is so amateurish that it borders on the absurd.

'Shakal Pe Mat Ja' is a mixture of crass comic sequences where the audience should not look for any sensible content. Watch it if you are a habitual film viewer and would not mind laughing in bits.
