Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the highlight of Pandu
Pandu would not make tall statements it stays accurate to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with just one sole function – that of entertaining the masses. And who improved to do that than two of the most very well regarded comedians from the field?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike workforce up for this comedy, producing it the very first time for the two to be performing collectively on the massive screen. The film begins with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) performing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Delighted with their performance, Babasaheb fulfils their want of doing a occupation for livelihood and gets them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai police pressure. What follows is a comedy of faults, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double which means jokes is a difficult region. It requirements to have just the right harmony a small considerably less can make it drab, and a minor far more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a equilibrium, generating you laugh with just the proper tadka.
The acting division is full of recognized names and they supply what is envisioned of them. Everyone else in spot of Bhau Kadam for this position may not have strike the mark, but the ace comic nails each punch line whilst retaining a sure degree of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the great companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an similarly very good performance. Neither of these two overpowers each and every other. Sonalee appears wonderful no question, and she also receives to pack a punch (pretty much) as Usha. The actress’s part is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde commands the display as Babasaheb Pathare although Prajakta Mali emerges as a shock offer in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s initial fifty percent is, the film loses pace in the second 50 percent. Although the climax earns some brownie points, the movie does not make a entire turnaround. There are some supporting people added for comic reduction, but doing away with some of them wouldn’t truly have produced significantly of a difference. Hemangi Kavi, for case in point, doesn’t have much to do in addition to creating Mhadu’s married daily life, nor does Shahbaz Khan.
All mentioned and completed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the emphasize of the movie. Which is also what most folks would go to watch the film for. The two really do not disappoint. The very same are unable to be said about the movie as a entire though.
