Story
It is a hilarious drama of four young aspirant filmmakers who get caught by the airport security and the Anti-Terrorist Squad at Delhi international airport on a high alert day. They claim to shoot a documentary but the forces suspect them as radicals.
But no one is ready to pay any heed to their clarification and no one is ready to believe them and thus they do not get positive response from the officials. The investigative officials take them to the interrogation room of the International airport for further interrogation and there they are questioned and interrogated by the CISF.
The reason they are caught is that by their looks they appear like terrorists. So even if they are simple people, they keep falling into wild problems, as their hold up does not turn up in the manner anyone could have expected. After all, appearances are misleading. Whatever they speak or they have in possession or even whatever they do, such things lead them to additional problems. Whether it is the doubtful footage of these people present at Rashtriya pati bhawan, or the Arabic and Pakistani Porn which they get from the bag of Rohan; whether it is the device that look like bomb in the bag of Dhruv for which he clarifies that it was with him as his physics project or the fact that the 27 year old Bulai who looks alike a most wanted criminal and does not possess any identity card or even a mobile phone. At the same time the Intelligence get some reports that a group of terrorists were making plans to attack some parts of their area. Do these four young boys are in any way involved with any group of terrorists or do they have different plans all-together.
And what about appearance and looks! Are they always misleading? Can these 4 innocent looking young boys be dreadful terrorists who would be involved in one of the biggest terror conspiracy? Shakal Pe Mat Ja... is a film that deals with all such misleading goof ups, erroneous identities & madness created due to being there at the wrong place at the wrong time. Guiltless looking maniacs, unpaid terror groups, and Security forces who are never on time is what you can watch in the movie ----- Shakal Pe Mat Ja!

SHAKL PE MAT JA is a Hindi feature film which released on 17th November, 2011. This film has been produced under the banner of Linc Entertainment and Ipix Movies. Shubh is the director of this film.Story : This is the story of four young boys whose looks are not like gentleman and they appear as terrorists. These four people are Ankit Sharma (Shubh), Rohan Malhotra (Chitrak Bandhopadhyay), Bulai (Harsh Parekh) and Dhruv Sharma (Master Pratik Katare). On a day they go to Delhi International Airport to shoot some footage of a landing airplane for a documentary. But while they try to do so, police officials misunderstand them by their looks as terrorists. They try to clarify their positions but police officials are not convinced and start interrogating them. The Anti Terrorist Squad team which includes, Chavan (Saurabh Shukla) and Om Prakash (Raghubir Yadav) as ATS officers still belive the to be from terrorist group.Not only this; the four young people keep falling into troubles due to their looks and so the film is justified that SHAKL PE MAT JA which literally means – do not judge people just by their looks.Are they able to prove their innocence? If yes, then how? These are some questions answered in the rest of the film.Performance : Performance-wise Shubh is okay but his appearance is not what Indian audience would accept as their filmy Hero. Chitrak Bandhopadhyay is average but his English speaking is confusing. At many places he irritates you instead of making you smile. Harsh Parekh is so and so. Child artist Pratik is annoying. Saurabh Shukla is good at some places but confused at some places because his character is not properly defined. Raghubir Yadav is as usual. Mushtaq Khan is good.Script : Script is not convincing and carries many loopholes. Screenplay is weak. It is comical at some places but rest of the places it irritates. Dialogues are so and so.Music : It is not impressive.Direction : Direction by Shubh looks amateurish. Takings as well as blocks are not so impressive where a debut director should take care of. He has confused the characters.Plus Points : It makes you smile at a few places only.Minus Points : Script, direction, star performances, music etc.Conclusion : It is a good effort by some newcomers with low budget but it will not attract the audience due to various minus points mentioned above. The best thing is that the team has not wasted huge money on this film as many makers do and face dire consequences. So when you make a low budget film even if it doesn't do good business you lose nothing big but you get nice experience and you get to learn many things. But if you spend huge amount of money and the film flops you suffer a huge loss at the cost of nothing worth mentioning.Verdict : Not so bad but its better to watch on satellite release rather than spending money in theaters.
