Pandu does not make tall claims it stays real to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with 1 sole goal – that of entertaining the masses. And who superior to do that than two of the most very well regarded comedians from the marketplace?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike group up for this comedy, creating it the to start with time for the two to be acting with each other on the major monitor. The movie starts with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) performing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Satisfied with their performance, Babasaheb fulfils their want of undertaking a career for livelihood and gets them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai police pressure. What follows is a comedy of problems, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double this means jokes is a tough place. It desires to have just the suitable equilibrium a tiny fewer can make it drab, and a small more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a stability, generating you snicker with just the proper tadka.
The acting office is whole of acknowledged names and they deliver what’s predicted of them. Any person else in position of Bhau Kadam for this role may well not have hit the mark, but the ace comedian nails every punch line although retaining a certain stage of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the best companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an equally great performance. Neither of these two overpowers every other. Sonalee seems lovely no doubt, and she also receives to pack a punch (basically) as Usha. The actress’s part is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde commands the screen as Babasaheb Pathare though Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise bundle in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s initial 50 % is, the movie loses speed in the 2nd fifty percent. Even though the climax earns some brownie points, the film doesn’t make a comprehensive turnaround. There are some supporting figures added for comic relief, but executing away with some of them would not really have manufactured significantly of a distinction. Hemangi Kavi, for example, doesn’t have much to do apart from developing Mhadu’s married everyday living, nor does Shahbaz Khan.
All reported and completed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the emphasize of the movie. That’s also what most individuals would go to enjoy the film for. The two really don’t disappoint. The identical cannot be reported about the movie as a entire while.
