Yeh Hai Bakrapur Movie Review

 

Ratings:3/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama

The serpentine twists in the plot and the engaging screenplay manage to keep you alert and attentive, except when Janaki decides to have an abrupt intermission and an open end, which stands out like a sore thumb. Ideally, it would've worked better had she thought of a firm resolution. On the whole, YEH HAI BAKRAPUR 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.

Janaki Vishwanathan's concept that highlights the little ironies of life and fickleness of human nature is a sure-shot winner. The slice-of-life tale is convincing and thus believable. The village has been beautifully captured on camera and the actors' genuine performances lend authenticity to the setting.  Overall, the film works for its quirky premise. . A slow build-up and a comparatively hurried climax are spoilers too. Even the dialogues are not as funny as they should ideally be. To sum it up, the film is as unique as superstar Shah Rukh Khan, but it lacks his charisma.

But the story about this miraculous goat heads nowhere. The satire is too consistent, and the same ignorance repeats itself in different ways. Inexplicably, there is no third act. It feels like the filmmakers ran out of unconventional characters, and didn't even bother to end on an ambiguous note. There is no excuse for lazy storytelling, especially when the setup is potentially ahead of a Peepli Live.
