OTTplay Lost and Found - Do Dooni Chaar

Welcome to OTTplay Lost and Found, I'm your host Nikhil for today, one podcast that talks about critically acclaimed films but lesser-known more so like a hidden gem and the gem for today Do Dooni Chaar

Habib Faisal’s National Award-winning comedy-drama Do Dooni Chaar is the kind of film that touches a necessary nerve. Searingly earnest and mildly humorous, Do Dooni Chaar chronicles the thankless life of a maths teacher with a local school who doubles up as a tuition teacher only to make ends meet. The film finds Rishi and Neetu Kapoor filling in as the Duggals, a middle-class Punjabi family from Delhi who dream about purchasing a car for their family of four even though it seems far from their means. While essentially a comedy, it also elaborately depicts the selfless and often ignored role that teachers play in shaping their pupils into the men and women they go on to be.

Faisal ensures the film doesn’t get too preachy but conveys the predicament of local school teachers who struggle to get by on paltry salaries. The film wins for its sharp wit and heartfelt sequences and for depicting the noble, selfless, and relentless efforts that academics put in, often hoping for nothing in return.   

If you haven't watched Do Dooni Chaar yet, you can catch it exclusively on Netflix.

Alright, that's about Do Dooni Chaar on Lost and Found, I shall be back again with a brand new podcast and a brand new film - critically acclaimed but lesser-known. 

This is your host Nikhil signing out for now.
