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

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

Pandu would not make tall statements it stays legitimate to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with one particular sole purpose – that of entertaining the masses. And who improved to do that than two of the most nicely identified comedians from the business?

Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike staff up for this comedy, building it the very first time for the two to be performing alongside one another on the major display screen. The film commences with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) carrying out at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Joyful with their functionality, Babasaheb fulfils their want of executing a job for livelihood and will get them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai police drive. What follows is a comedy of errors, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.

Comedy with double meaning jokes is a tough area. It wants to have just the ideal stability a small much less can make it drab, and a little extra can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a equilibrium, creating you laugh with just the right tadka.

The performing section is total of recognized names and they supply what is predicted of them. Anybody else in place of Bhau Kadam for this position may possibly not have strike the mark, but the ace comic nails each punch line though retaining a particular level of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the best companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an equally fantastic general performance. Neither of these two overpowers each individual other. Sonalee appears to be like attractive no question, and she also gets to pack a punch (literally) as Usha. The actress’s element is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde instructions the display as Babasaheb Pathare whilst Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise deal in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.

As entertaining as Pandu’s initial 50 percent is, the movie loses pace in the 2nd half. However the climax earns some brownie details, the movie doesn’t make a finish turnaround. There are some supporting characters included for comic relief, but carrying out absent with some of them would not definitely have manufactured a great deal of a big difference. Hemangi Kavi, for illustration, does not have a lot to do apart from setting up Mhadu’s married lifetime, nor does Shahbaz Khan.

All claimed and performed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the spotlight of the movie. That is also what most folks would go to watch the movie for. The two do not disappoint. The exact are not able to be said about the movie as a complete however.
