Pandu won’t make tall statements it stays accurate to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with a single sole intent – that of entertaining the masses. And who greater to do that than two of the most properly acknowledged comedians from the field?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike group up for this comedy, earning it the initially time for the two to be acting collectively on the huge screen. The film commences with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) undertaking at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Satisfied with their functionality, Babasaheb fulfils their wish of carrying out a job for livelihood and will get them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement power. What follows is a comedy of mistakes, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double this means jokes is a tough place. It demands to have just the ideal stability a tiny much less can make it drab, and a minor far more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a stability, producing you chortle with just the ideal tadka.
The acting division is total of regarded names and they provide what is anticipated of them. Any person else in location of Bhau Kadam for this job may perhaps not have strike the mark, but the ace comic nails every single punch line though retaining a specific degree of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the great companion to Bhau’s Pandu and provides an similarly good overall performance. Neither of these two overpowers every other. Sonalee seems attractive no doubt, and she also will get to pack a punch (basically) as Usha. The actress’s aspect is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde instructions the display screen as Babasaheb Pathare when Prajakta Mali emerges as a shock bundle in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s very first half is, the film loses speed in the second 50 percent. While the climax earns some brownie details, the movie does not make a comprehensive turnaround. There are some supporting people additional for comic aid, but accomplishing away with some of them wouldn’t seriously have created a great deal of a distinction. Hemangi Kavi, for case in point, doesn’t have significantly to do moreover setting up Mhadu’s married life, nor does Shahbaz Khan.
All said and performed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the emphasize of the film. That is also what most people today would go to enjoy the movie for. The two don’t disappoint. The identical are unable to be claimed about the movie as a entire even though.
