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

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

Pandu does not make tall statements it stays real to the essence of Dada Kondke’s movies, with 1 sole function – that of entertaining the masses. And who greater to do that than two of the most well known comedians from the marketplace?

Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike crew up for this comedy, earning it the initially time for the two to be performing together on the major display. The film begins with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) performing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Joyful with their performance, Babasaheb fulfils their wish of accomplishing a career for livelihood and will get them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai police drive. What follows is a comedy of mistakes, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.

Comedy with double indicating jokes is a challenging region. It demands to have just the right balance a little less can make it drab, and a small additional can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a harmony, creating you giggle with just the correct tadka.

The acting section is entire of regarded names and they produce what is predicted of them. Everyone else in spot of Bhau Kadam for this position could not have strike the mark, but the ace comedian nails each punch line when retaining a specified degree of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the excellent companion to Bhau’s Pandu and delivers an similarly good performance. Neither of these two overpowers each other. Sonalee appears to be gorgeous no doubt, and she also will get to pack a punch (pretty much) 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 offer in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.

As entertaining as Pandu’s to start with half is, the film loses rate in the 2nd 50 %. Though the climax earns some brownie factors, the film does not make a entire turnaround. There are some supporting figures additional for comedian relief, but performing away with some of them would not truly have produced substantially of a big difference. Hemangi Kavi, for example, doesn’t have considerably to do besides developing Mhadu’s married everyday living, nor does Shahbaz Khan.

All claimed and performed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the spotlight of the film. That’s also what most folks would go to enjoy the film for. The two do not disappoint. The identical are not able to be claimed about the film as a total even though.
