Pandu does not make tall promises it stays true to the essence of Dada Kondke’s movies, with one particular sole purpose – that of entertaining the masses. And who better to do that than two of the most perfectly identified comedians from the market?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike workforce up for this comedy, building it the very first time for the two to be acting alongside one another on the massive screen. The film commences with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) carrying out at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Happy with their functionality, Babasaheb fulfils their want of accomplishing a job for livelihood and will get them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai police force. What follows is a comedy of errors, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double indicating jokes is a tricky space. It needs to have just the appropriate stability a very little a lot less can make it drab, and a little extra can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a balance, making you giggle with just the appropriate tadka.
The acting department is total of identified names and they produce what’s expected of them. Any one else in spot of Bhau Kadam for this function may well not have hit the mark, but the ace comic nails each individual punch line although retaining a certain degree of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the perfect companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an equally superior overall performance. Neither of these two overpowers every single other. Sonalee seems to be lovely no question, and she also will get to pack a punch (actually) as Usha. The actress’s aspect is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde commands the screen as Babasaheb Pathare when Prajakta Mali emerges as a shock package in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s initially 50 percent is, the movie loses tempo in the 2nd 50 percent. Even though the climax earns some brownie points, the film doesn’t make a entire turnaround. There are some supporting characters additional for comedian relief, but accomplishing absent with some of them would not truly have designed substantially of a big difference. Hemangi Kavi, for illustration, does not have significantly to do moreover establishing Mhadu’s married everyday living, nor does Shahbaz Khan.
All stated and completed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the highlight of the movie. That is also what most people would go to check out the film for. The two really don’t disappoint. The exact cannot be mentioned about the film as a total however.
