Pandu doesn’t make tall claims it stays genuine to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with one particular sole reason – that of entertaining the masses. And who better to do that than two of the most effectively known comedians from the marketplace?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike workforce up for this comedy, creating it the to start with time for the two to be performing with each other on the massive display. The film starts with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) accomplishing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Satisfied with their effectiveness, Babasaheb fulfils their would like of doing a work for livelihood and receives them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement force. What follows is a comedy of mistakes, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double meaning jokes is a tough space. It demands to have just the proper balance a minor significantly less can make it drab, and a little much more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a equilibrium, creating you snicker with just the proper tadka.
The performing division is total of known names and they deliver what’s envisioned of them. Any one else in position of Bhau Kadam for this function may perhaps not have strike the mark, but the ace comedian nails every single punch line although retaining a specific amount of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the best companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an similarly great efficiency. Neither of these two overpowers just about every other. Sonalee appears beautiful no doubt, and she also gets to pack a punch (pretty much) as Usha. The actress’s section is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde instructions the display screen as Babasaheb Pathare while Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise package in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s initial fifty percent is, the film loses rate in the second fifty percent. While the climax earns some brownie factors, the film does not make a comprehensive turnaround. There are some supporting characters additional for comic aid, but carrying out away with some of them wouldn’t seriously have designed significantly of a change. Hemangi Kavi, for case in point, doesn’t have significantly to do moreover establishing Mhadu’s married everyday living, nor does Shahbaz Khan.
All said and completed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the spotlight of the movie. Which is also what most persons would go to check out the film for. The two never disappoint. The same are unable to be claimed about the movie as a entire though.
