Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Tejas Nair Deepak Dobriyal had impressed me with his zero-dialog performance in Shaurya. And here he is just too good as the troubled teacher.Funny moments start and never tend to end in this cocoon of true melodrama about how people in India behave, live & react to things which are out of the world. The taunts, dialogs & reactions are so original, I could relate. Each & every member of the cast has put in efforts in the funny quotient of the movie. With some good locales, the plot talks about the rise-to-fame-story of a teacher when he wins a red car in a contest. Things unfold & he finds himself in something he wants to so eagerly get out.BOTTOM LINE: Fresh writing & funny moments, Daayen Ya Baayen is an entertaining watch, in spite of having few dull moments. 6.9!Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YESProfanity/Nudity/Sex: No | Violence/Gore: No | Smoking/Drugs/Alcohol: Mild

paularasario I was reminded of my village in Goa when I saw this film. The characters were very typical to a village. They are always involved in petty politics and are very warm in their heart actually. Village people can be like that very funny and simple at the same time. My family saw it together and we all enjoyed it. My son also liked it very much. We saw it on the net but I am looking for a DVD but cannot find one. The photography is very good. And the acting is very close to the heart. Under the laughter we could also see the reality of a village life, the hardships, the big dreams and the point that there are no jobs there. We can have big dreams but we have to have the courage to make them happen.

Aliya Bhatt What a fantastic film I discovered recently. I cant believe that I didn't see it before. Daayen ya Baayen is full of subtle humor, nuances, wonderful characters and such a lovely story line. The story seems simple but it is quite complex. It is about a guy going back from the city to the village and finding that not much has changed back here. He finds his raison d'etre in building an art school in he village. But a red car arrives in his life and takes him on a different trip. The story is about this and a lot more - its a life lesson. I can see it again and again for the many nuances and hidden gems all over the film. I enjoyed it and recommend it to everyone who want to see something out of the ordinary.

riyen73 I had the recording of this from my HD device lying without me watching it for many weeks. I had no idea what the movie was about or who starred in it. This is a fairly simple tale of a man who returns to his village in Uttarakhand and takes up a job as a school teacher. The movie is embellished with many actors who play bit roles but they all add to the milieu beautifully. The movie takes a funny turn when the teacher wins a red car in a jingle writing contest which his friend enters for him. And from there on there are many funny moments involving him and his red car. The movie has its dull moments when in between the pace slackens and not much happens. But all in all a refreshing watch with a very simple tale to tell. The authenticity of the atmosphere, the excellent cinematography and Deepak Dobriyal make it a pleasant watching experience.
