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

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

Pandu isn’t going to make tall promises it stays accurate to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with 1 sole reason – that of entertaining the masses. And who improved to do that than two of the most effectively recognized comedians from the industry?

Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike workforce up for this comedy, producing it the to start with time for the two to be acting together on the significant display screen. The film commences with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) undertaking at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Delighted with their efficiency, Babasaheb fulfils their desire of doing a task for livelihood and will get them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement pressure. What follows is a comedy of glitches, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.

Comedy with double which means jokes is a tricky spot. It demands to have just the suitable stability a minimal less can make it drab, and a tiny a lot more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a balance, making you chuckle with just the correct tadka.

The acting division is comprehensive of recognized names and they deliver what’s predicted of them. Any one else in place of Bhau Kadam for this function may possibly not have strike the mark, but the ace comedian nails every punch line though retaining a certain stage of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the excellent companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an equally great general performance. Neither of these two overpowers each other. Sonalee seems lovely no question, and she also gets to pack a punch (literally) as Usha. The actress’s portion is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde commands the screen as Babasaheb Pathare while Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise package in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.

As entertaining as Pandu’s to start with 50 % is, the movie loses speed in the 2nd 50 percent. Although the climax earns some brownie details, the movie does not make a comprehensive turnaround. There are some supporting people included for comedian aid, but executing away with some of them would not actually have produced much of a change. Hemangi Kavi, for illustration, does not have significantly to do moreover establishing Mhadu’s married everyday living, nor does Shahbaz Khan.

All explained and accomplished, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the highlight of the movie. That’s also what most people would go to view the movie for. The two don’t disappoint. The same are not able to be claimed about the film as a entire nevertheless.
