Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the highlight of Pandu
Pandu does not make tall claims it stays legitimate to the essence of Dada Kondke’s movies, with a person sole function – that of entertaining the masses. And who far better to do that than two of the most well acknowledged comedians from the business?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike workforce up for this comedy, generating it the initially time for the two to be performing collectively on the big monitor. The film begins with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) undertaking at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Happy with their efficiency, Babasaheb fulfils their desire of accomplishing a career for livelihood and receives them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement pressure. What follows is a comedy of problems, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double meaning jokes is a challenging space. It demands to have just the right balance a tiny fewer can make it drab, and a little additional can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a balance, earning you chortle with just the proper tadka.
The performing division is complete of recognised names and they deliver what’s envisioned of them. Anyone else in put of Bhau Kadam for this role may well not have strike the mark, but the ace comic nails every single punch line even though retaining a specified level of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the excellent companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an equally great effectiveness. Neither of these two overpowers every single other. Sonalee appears gorgeous no question, and she also receives to pack a punch (actually) as Usha. The actress’s portion is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde instructions the display screen as Babasaheb Pathare though Prajakta Mali emerges as a shock package in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s very first fifty percent is, the film loses rate in the next 50 %. However the climax earns some brownie details, the movie doesn’t make a full turnaround. There are some supporting figures added for comic relief, but doing away with some of them wouldn’t genuinely have produced a great deal of a difference. Hemangi Kavi, for example, does not have substantially to do besides setting up Mhadu’s married lifestyle, nor does Shahbaz Khan.
All stated and performed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the highlight of the film. Which is also what most persons would go to enjoy the film for. The two don’t disappoint. The identical simply cannot be said about the movie as a total though.
