Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the highlight of Pandu

The late Dada Kondke has inspired an whole technology of viewers, filmmakers and actors in Maharashtra, and Pandu is a testimony of that. No, it is not a remake or sequel of Dada Kondke’s iconic Pandu Hawaldar, but a tribute to Dada Kondke.

Pandu would not make tall statements it stays correct to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with a single sole reason – that of entertaining the masses. And who much better to do that than two of the most properly recognized comedians from the sector?

Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike crew up for this comedy, creating it the 1st time for the two to be acting with each other on the large display screen. The movie commences with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) undertaking at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Happy with their performance, Babasaheb fulfils their would like of undertaking a work for livelihood and gets them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai police drive. What follows is a comedy of glitches, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.

Comedy with double which means jokes is a challenging space. It needs to have just the proper harmony a small significantly less can make it drab, and a little much more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a stability, making you chuckle with just the ideal tadka.

The acting department is full of identified names and they produce what is predicted of them. Anybody else in area of Bhau Kadam for this job might not have hit the mark, but the ace comic nails every punch line when retaining a certain amount of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the perfect companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an similarly very good effectiveness. Neither of these two overpowers each individual other. Sonalee appears to be wonderful no doubt, and she also receives to pack a punch (virtually) as Usha. The actress’s aspect is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde commands the monitor as Babasaheb Pathare whilst Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise package in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.

As entertaining as Pandu’s very first 50 percent is, the film loses pace in the next half. While the climax earns some brownie points, the film does not make a finish turnaround. There are some supporting people added for comedian aid, but accomplishing away with some of them would not really have produced much of a change. Hemangi Kavi, for example, does not have considerably to do other than establishing Mhadu’s married daily life, nor does Shahbaz Khan.

All stated and accomplished, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the spotlight of the movie. Which is also what most folks would go to look at the film for. The two really don’t disappoint. The exact can not be reported about the movie as a entire nevertheless.
