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

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

Pandu doesn’t make tall promises it stays genuine to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with a person sole objective – that of entertaining the masses. And who greater to do that than two of the most very well identified comedians from the market?

Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike group up for this comedy, making it the first time for the two to be performing alongside one another on the huge screen. The movie commences with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) performing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Pleased with their overall performance, Babasaheb fulfils their want of executing a work for livelihood and receives them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement pressure. What follows is a comedy of faults, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.

Comedy with double that means jokes is a difficult place. It demands to have just the proper stability a little much less can make it drab, and a little much more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a harmony, creating you giggle with just the correct tadka.

The performing section is whole of recognised names and they supply what is envisioned of them. Any person else in position of Bhau Kadam for this position could not have strike the mark, but the ace comedian nails each and every punch line although retaining a sure degree of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the best companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an equally great effectiveness. Neither of these two overpowers every single other. Sonalee appears to be stunning no question, and she also gets to pack a punch (practically) as Usha. The actress’s component is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde commands the screen as Babasaheb Pathare even though Prajakta Mali emerges as a shock deal in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.

As entertaining as Pandu’s initial fifty percent is, the movie loses speed in the 2nd 50 percent. However the climax earns some brownie factors, the film does not make a comprehensive turnaround. There are some supporting people added for comic relief, but accomplishing away with some of them wouldn’t actually have made significantly of a difference. Hemangi Kavi, for case in point, does not have substantially to do in addition to setting up Mhadu’s married daily life, nor does Shahbaz Khan.

All mentioned and performed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the emphasize of the film. That is also what most people would go to observe the film for. The two really do not disappoint. The identical can’t be claimed about the film as a full though.
