DAAYEN YA BAAYEN may have been made with the right intentions, but the problem is that director Bela Negi has shot too much - some good, some pointless - and when you to try to encompass it all, it tells on the final product.
Write your own movie review of Daayen Ya Baayen Ramesh [Deepak Dobriyal] returns from the city to his small remote village in the Himalayas. Armed with irrepressible enthusiasm, he hopes to be the breath of fresh air the village has been waiting for. But, instead, his quirky traits make him the joke of the village.
In a dramatic turn of events, a chance entry into a television contest wins him a swank luxury car, elevating Ramesh to heroic status overnight. Adored by children and admired by the locals, he becomes the focal point of the village. It forces him to live up to the status of a car owner and unwittingly, he turns into a borrower and, before long, he is unfathomably deep in liability.
Bela reserves the best for the first hour: the story moves rapidly, the humour is enjoyable and manages a smile on your face and the sundry characters come across so real. But the film loses focus in the post-interval portions. It lacks the meat to carry the story forward, the sub-plots aren't convincing at all and the pacing is lethargic, which makes you restless after a point. In fact, you fervently hope that the film would end soon.
Director Bela Negi's story and execution have a strictly narrow scope. The real star of the show is cinematographer Amlan Datta, whose cinematography captures the mountainous topography with flamboyance. The background score is appropriate, while the dialogues should be well received by the viewers.
Deepak Dobriyal does decently well as the typical clueless dreamer. Bharti Bhatt performs well as Deepak Dobriyal's wife. Badrul Islam is quite good. Manav Kaul is wasted. Pratyush leaves a mark in the role of Deepak's son.
On the whole, DAAYEN YA BAAYEN caters to a miniscule segment of moviegoers and even that segment of audience won't feel completely elated at the conclusion of the screening. The film has had an unsung release - there's no hype or awareness - and combined with the negligible appeal, will undeniably prove to be a disaster at the box-office.

Daayen Ya Baayen (2010) movie review: Rating ***
A couple of weeks back we saw a comic Do Dooni Chaar, which was about a middle class school teacher and his family and their wish to buy a car. This time around it’s another school teacher, much poorer but luckier than the one in the aforementioned film. Daayen Ya Baayen is about a village school teacher who wins a car in a lottery. And though he receives the car he has no clue what to do with it!
Please bear there are no resemblance between the two movies apart from the fact that the protagonists are school teacher. While Do Dooni Chaar had a sweet story, Daayen Ya Baayen is a classic comedy too.
Ramesh (Deepak Dobriyal) chucks his dreams on making it big in filmdom in Mumbai to return to his village. As he does that he is filled with enthusiasm and belief that he is meant to change things for better in his village. He takes up teaching. Though he has his vision he is ridiculed by others around him. Things change drastically when he receives a cool red car after winning a TV contest. Though he becomes a hero in his neighbourhood he attracts enough issues too. First of all, he does not know what to do with the car. Nor does he have the money to run and maintain and neither does the village have infrastructure to drive the car safely. Add to it envious acquaintances. And then he loses the car!
What’s pleasing about Daayen Ya Baayen is its very original and rooted in Indian countryside storyline. And as the story flows the director manages to bring to life so many aspects of rural life that it makes Daayan Ya Baayen very real and entertaining. The dialogues work brilliantly with the characters. Technically the film is not flashy and there is no need for it to be either. The cinematography and editing suit the story and its settings.
Talking about drawbacks, though the film is just 110 minutes long at times it seems longer; especially the first half which is dedicated to establish the characters rather than the story going forward.
But then the performances by the lead character and motley of other characters shine enough for you to overlook the slight issues. Deepak Dobriyal indeed sparkles in his first film as a lead actor.
Daayen Ya Baayen is however not about any actor. It is a delightful story – something you would not like to give a miss in these times when every movie seems to be a copy of some other international film. Kudos to director Bela Nagi making this film, and also to producer Sunil Doshi for continuing his efforts to bring out such small yet fresh films!
