Raja Nene, nephew of [[Vishnupant Damle]], started his career at [[Prabhat Film Company]] as an assistant director, working with Shantaram on ''[[Chandrasena (1935 film)|Chandrasena]]'' (1935) and ''[[Amar Jyoti]]'' (1936). ''Das Baje'' in Hindi and ''Daha Wajta'' in Marathi were his first directorial ventures under Prabhat. [[Baburao Patel]] in his review of the film in the January 1943 issue of ''[[Filmindia]]'', stated that the producers Prabhat deserved no sympathy in their review. Prabhat Film Company was "at the top of the ladder" as far their "experience and success" was concerned, intent on making "only progressive and purposeful pictures" in their own words. According to Patel, ''Das Baje'' was "neither a progressive nor a purposeful picture". Nene, who had the "unique opportunity of being trained for years under Mr. V. Shantaram" had "either wasted his time all these years... or lacks the executive capacity to harness his training...." Urmila, as Asha the college-going had an "awful" English accent. Vasant Thengdi did not suit the role, being termed as a "pretty ridiculous portrayal". Paresh Bannerji as Dilip, fails to appeal. The sister's role by Baby Shakuntala "was very well played", "Barring Baby Shakuntala, no one gave a good performance". The dialogues by Ashant "have neither life nor literature in them". Music by [[Keshavrao Bhole]] was termed "unsatisfactory".<ref name=Review /> | Raja Nene, nephew of [[Vishnupant Damle]], started his career at [[Prabhat Film Company]] as an assistant director, working with Shantaram on ''[[Chandrasena (1935 film)|Chandrasena]]'' (1935) and ''[[Amar Jyoti]]'' (1936).
