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."
Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India rated it 3/5 stars and said that "Mrs Deshpande often feels familiar and occasionally over-explanatory, yet Kukunoor maintains a firm grip on suspense, holding back key revelations until the very end."
