Pandu doesn’t make tall claims it stays real to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with a person sole function – that of entertaining the masses. And who better to do that than two of the most perfectly recognized comedians from the industry?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike staff up for this comedy, building it the initially time for the two to be performing jointly on the large monitor. The movie starts with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) doing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Content with their effectiveness, Babasaheb fulfils their wish of accomplishing a occupation for livelihood and receives them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai police drive. What follows is a comedy of mistakes, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double that means jokes is a tough place. It demands to have just the suitable balance a very little considerably less can make it drab, and a tiny additional can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a harmony, generating you chortle with just the ideal tadka.
The performing section is comprehensive of known names and they produce what is expected of them. Any individual else in location of Bhau Kadam for this function could not have strike the mark, but the ace comedian nails each individual punch line although retaining a selected degree of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the great companion to Bhau’s Pandu and delivers an equally superior performance. Neither of these two overpowers every single other. Sonalee appears to be wonderful no doubt, and she also gets to pack a punch (virtually) as Usha. The actress’s aspect is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde instructions the display screen as Babasaheb Pathare even though Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise package deal in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s initially fifty percent is, the movie loses pace in the second 50 percent. Even though the climax earns some brownie factors, the movie does not make a finish turnaround. There are some supporting people additional for comic aid, but executing away with some of them wouldn’t seriously have produced substantially of a variation. Hemangi Kavi, for instance, does not have significantly to do moreover creating Mhadu’s married lifetime, nor does Shahbaz Khan.
All mentioned and completed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the spotlight of the film. Which is also what most men and women would go to check out the film for. The two don’t disappoint. The exact same can’t be stated about the movie as a whole however.
