As well as two hours of unbelievably amateurish tripe. But there's a bunch of real baddies, and a bomb, and a babe out there. Says a cop : 'kaun si mentry?' Given their tools of mass destruction (I lost count of the number of farts the fat fellow with an accent lets loose, leading to a mass holding of noses), they could very well be. Says one of the foursome, pointing to the camera : 'yeh documentary ke liye hai'. You can follow him on Twitter and check out his Video Blog.Cast: Shubh, Pratik Katare, Chitrak Bandopadhyaya, Harsh Parekh, Saurabh Shukla, Raghuveer Yadav, Aamna Sharif, Zakir HussainĪ bunch of youngsters get caught at New Delhi airport with a handycam, a guy who farts, and a string of bad jokes. Komal Nahta, the Editor of, is Bollywood’s most trusted trade analyst & film reviewer. On the whole, Shakal Pe Mat Ja is a poor show from start to finish and will meet with a disastrous fate. Shakal Pe Mat Ja Review: Komal Nahta’s Verdict Production and technical values are pathetic. Sets (Sunil Nigvekar) are hardly worth mentioning. Amar Mohile’s background score is rather dull. The lyrics are too commonplace to be true. Shubh’s direction is as dull and disjointed as his script. Shakal Pe Mat Ja Review: Direction & Technical Aspects Joy Sengupta tries to be funny but fails. It is sad to see Zakir Hussain being so hopelessly wasted. Umang Jain also gets no scope in the role of Prachi. Mushtaq Khan overacts. Saurabh Shukla is not sure whether he should be doing comedy in serious scenes or should be serious in them. His farting scenes are overdone and are irritating more than entertaining. Chitrak Bandhopadhyay is quite nice but his accented English will hardly be understood. Shubh acts naturally although he doesn’t look like a hero. ![]() Even the dialogues are unbelievably poor! Shakal Pe Mat Ja Review: Star Performances All in all, the screenplay could easily bag an award or two for the worst screenplay. The tracks of Amina (Aamna Sharif) and of Prachi, the girlfriend of Ankit, seem meaningless. ![]() Were they so excited about being blown to death if the diffusion failed? And the way the ATS chief, Chavan, behaves when the bomb is about to explode and when it is being attempted to be diffused is seen to be believed! Truly, the writer doesn’t seem to know the difference between a real bomb and a Laxmi bomb that is burst on Diwali. It remains unexplained why hundreds of passengers refuse to leave the airport premises even when the bomb is about to explode and, instead, prefer to wait and watch if it gets diffused or not. The entire sequence of the bomb scare at the airport and of the bomb diffusion has been so stupidly handled that it would seem, the writer would have the audience believe that it was a Diwali cracker he was talking about that would explode any moment, not a bomb. The second half, in which the four set out to run away from custody, is again so long-winding, boring and childish that the audience loses its patience. Likewise, the behaviour of the police and the ATS officers is so idiotic that nothing at all makes any impact whatsoever. The way the four boys behave when they are suspected to be terrorists and even when they are pronounced terrorists is ridiculous, to say the least. So it is almost like the police and ATS on the one hand and the foursome on the other are playing a cute little game with each other. ![]() Assuming for a moment that the police and the ATS did not understand that the four are not terrorists, the question that begs an answer is: in that case, why is the police treating them with kid gloves? No terrorists or even suspected terrorists are treated the way the four are. Even an idiot would realise that the four aren’t terrorists from the way they behave and from their naivete. Shubh’s screenplay is more irritating than the story. Shubh’s story about four young boys being picked up by the police and suspected to be terrorists is so juvenile that it hardly makes sense. What happens thereafter? Are they able to prove their innocence? If so, how? Shakal Pe Mat Ja Review: Script Analysis Soon, the Anti-Terrorist Squad officer, Chavan (Saurabh Shukla), and police officer Om Prakash (Raghubir Yadav) are convinced, the four are indeed terrorists. They get picked up by the police and one misunderstanding leads to another till they are suspected to be terrorists. Ankit Sharma (Shubh), Rohan Malhotra (Chitrak Bandhopadhyay), Bulai (Harsh Parekh) and Dhruv Sharma (master Pratik Katare) are four friends who have come to take photographs of aircrafts at the airport. Linc Entertainment and Ipix Movies’ Shakal Pe Mat Ja (A) is the story of four young boys who are mistaken to be terrorists by the police on duty at the airport.
