Shahrukh's popularity grows, and so does Mohammad's ambition to make some money by exploiting Shahrukh's miracle.

The media too, catches on and soon, the village is full of reporters, all wanting to cover this unique story of a goat with a skull-shaped pattern.

Throughout the film, there are obvious references to real-life events that have occurred in India, and it is quite clear that the film is trying to draw a parallel between those events and what is shown in the movie. The satire is sharp, and the humor is spot on, as the movie tries to poke fun at religious gurus, politicians, the media, and society as a whole.

One of the best things about Yeh Hai Bakrapur is the casting of the film. Anshuman Jha, who plays the role of Mohammad, is a delight to watch. He captures the innocence and ambitions of his character perfectly, and his acting is a standout in the entire film. The ensemble cast, too, is impressive, with each actor playing their part to perfection.

The film's music, composed by Agnee, is another great aspect of the movie. The songs blend perfectly with the narrative, and each song helps in advancing the story in some way.

In conclusion, Yeh Hai Bakrapur is a must-watch film. It is a smart, witty, and thought-provoking movie that manages to hold a mirror to society's ills while making us laugh. The writing, acting, and direction are all top-notch, definitely making it one of the best movies to come out of India in recent years.
