==Reception==
Ronak Kotecha of [[The Times of India]] said that "Ultimately, Shatak is a technically superlative documentary that attempts to spotlight an organisation and its leaders through a distinctly reverential lens, recreating the era with remarkable visual finesse."<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Shatak Movie Review: A visually slick documentary that blurs the line between chronicle and advocacy |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/shatak/movie-review/128605854.cms |access-date=2026-03-03 |website=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref> Nandini Ramnath of [[Scroll.in]] said that "Shatak is recruitment video, tutorial and pat on the back rolled into one.
