You may not be overwhelmed by Vishwanathan’s satire. But you won’t come away without a smile and smirk in this sly look-see at rural India where every second citizen is a certifiable attention-seeker.

…employs a comic tone to tell a serious story. Armed with a simplistic, but innovative plot and an engaging screenplay, this small little film deserves a watch because it’s made with heart.

YEH HAI BAKRAPUR is for the intelligentsia, those who love their cinema, shaken, stirred and with salt at the rim!

After all, the general public is constantly being made a bakra of!

The film, no doubt, manages to keep you entertained throughout, sometimes even raising a few chuckles. But the storyline and certain situations seem too hackneyed. The climax seemed too hurried as if the scriptwriter (Janki Vishwanathan) was suddenly not sure how to tie up its loose ends. Each of the actors fits in very well and delivers good performances. In fact, Suruchi Aulakh, who plays the terror of a mother, and Jha are fantastic. This brave attempt at social satire — with no stars but just a goat named after a superstar — is worth lauding. Watch this film at least once.

…a witty, entertaining and thought-provoking film. It makes its point in a subtle way, keeping it from ever getting preachy. The brilliant acting coupled with the killer soundtrack and visuals makes it worth watching.

One of the few films that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Do watch!
