Daayen Ya Baayen
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...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.
-
...manages to hold your attention as a sweet little ironical take on India's lopsided development and its forgotten people.
-
For all those who care about defiantly individualistic cinema, Daayen Ya Baayen is quite a few steps in the right direction.
-
...a sweet and simple, fresh and felt tale.
-
...a film made with love. Bela has a great affection for her characters. I'm recommending it with reservations. You need a lot of patience for this one.
-
...the pleasures of a film like this, made by a director who knows her mountains and its people, are unmistakable: there's not one ounce of fakery...
-
...starts on a promising note, but loses 'direction' mid-way. It veers on a 'bumpy' and banal path after coming back on 'track' in the climax.
-
...bit rough around the edges like an unpolished stone, but it's got the right heart; solid content.
-
...a sweet, gentle film, representing another forlorn stab at independent cinema.
-
It's tiring yes, but also a respectable first film. If you have an appetite for the quirky and unusual, you might not be too disappointed.
-
A realistic yet directionless film, Daayen Ya Baayen is watchable only in parts.
-
...you need a realistic, down-to-earth film, but there is always that niggling slip between expectation and delivery.
-
...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.
