Pandu would not make tall claims it stays correct to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with one sole purpose – that of entertaining the masses. And who superior to do that than two of the most properly regarded comedians from the sector?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike crew up for this comedy, creating it the very first time for the two to be performing collectively on the big monitor. The film begins with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) accomplishing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Satisfied with their efficiency, Babasaheb fulfils their desire of executing a occupation for livelihood and receives them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement force. What follows is a comedy of errors, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double meaning jokes is a tricky region. It needs to have just the appropriate balance a minimal a lot less can make it drab, and a small extra can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a balance, earning you laugh with just the ideal tadka.
The performing section is complete of recognized names and they deliver what is envisioned of them. Any one else in put of Bhau Kadam for this purpose may not have hit the mark, but the ace comic nails each punch line although retaining a sure amount of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the ideal companion to Bhau’s Pandu and delivers an similarly very good efficiency. Neither of these two overpowers each and every other. Sonalee appears to be like attractive no question, and she also receives to pack a punch (virtually) as Usha. The actress’s portion is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde instructions the display as Babasaheb Pathare though Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise deal in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s initially 50 percent is, the movie loses speed in the second half. Nevertheless the climax earns some brownie points, the movie does not make a full turnaround. There are some supporting people extra for comic relief, but carrying out away with some of them wouldn’t definitely have produced a great deal of a variance. Hemangi Kavi, for illustration, doesn’t have significantly to do in addition to establishing Mhadu’s married everyday living, nor does Shahbaz Khan.
All claimed and accomplished, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the emphasize of the movie. Which is also what most individuals would go to watch the film for. The two don’t disappoint. The exact same cannot be claimed about the movie as a total however.
