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

The late Dada Kondke has motivated an total generation 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 legendary Pandu Hawaldar, but a tribute to Dada Kondke.

Pandu isn’t going to make tall claims it stays real to the essence of Dada Kondke’s movies, with 1 sole purpose – that of entertaining the masses. And who greater to do that than two of the most effectively regarded comedians from the business?

Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike team up for this comedy, generating it the 1st time for the two to be acting together on the significant screen. The movie begins with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) doing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Joyful with their general performance, Babasaheb fulfils their would like of carrying out a work for livelihood and will get them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement drive. What follows is a comedy of mistakes, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.

Comedy with double which means jokes is a tough place. It needs to have just the correct stability a tiny much less can make it drab, and a minimal extra can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a harmony, generating you snicker with just the appropriate tadka.

The performing department is complete of recognized names and they produce what’s expected of them. Everyone else in place of Bhau Kadam for this purpose may well not have hit the mark, but the ace comic nails just about every punch line when retaining a specified amount of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the great companion to Bhau’s Pandu and delivers an similarly superior performance. Neither of these two overpowers every other. Sonalee appears to be attractive no question, and she also receives to pack a punch (literally) as Usha. The actress’s portion is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde instructions the display as Babasaheb Pathare whilst Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise bundle in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.

As entertaining as Pandu’s first 50 % is, the film loses rate in the 2nd 50 %. While the climax earns some brownie factors, the movie doesn’t make a finish turnaround. There are some supporting characters extra for comic aid, but undertaking absent with some of them wouldn’t truly have manufactured a lot of a big difference. Hemangi Kavi, for illustration, doesn’t have considerably to do apart from establishing Mhadu’s married everyday living, nor does Shahbaz Khan.

All stated and finished, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the spotlight of the film. That’s also what most folks would go to check out the film for. The two really do not disappoint. The very same are not able to be reported about the film as a total nevertheless.
