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

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

Pandu won’t make tall promises it stays legitimate to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with 1 sole goal – that of entertaining the masses. And who far better to do that than two of the most perfectly recognized comedians from the market?

Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike staff up for this comedy, producing it the first time for the two to be acting jointly on the massive monitor. The film starts with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) undertaking at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Pleased with their general performance, Babasaheb fulfils their desire of doing a job for livelihood and receives them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement drive. What follows is a comedy of glitches, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.

Comedy with double indicating jokes is a difficult space. It requires to have just the ideal harmony a little a lot less can make it drab, and a small much more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a harmony, earning you giggle with just the ideal tadka.

The acting office is total of recognised names and they produce what is anticipated of them. Any individual else in place of Bhau Kadam for this function may well not have strike the mark, but the ace comic nails each and every punch line although retaining a selected amount of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the great companion to Bhau’s Pandu and delivers an similarly fantastic general performance. Neither of these two overpowers every other. Sonalee seems stunning no question, and she also will get to pack a punch (pretty much) as Usha. The actress’s section is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde commands the display screen as Babasaheb Pathare though Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise package in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.

As entertaining as Pandu’s 1st fifty percent is, the film loses pace in the next 50 percent. Nevertheless the climax earns some brownie details, the film doesn’t make a comprehensive turnaround. There are some supporting people extra for comic relief, but executing away with some of them would not definitely have created significantly of a difference. Hemangi Kavi, for instance, does not have significantly to do apart from establishing Mhadu’s married life, nor does Shahbaz Khan.

All mentioned and performed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the highlight of the movie. That’s also what most folks would go to look at the movie for. The two don’t disappoint. The very same are not able to be said about the movie as a whole however.
