Pandu doesn’t make tall statements it stays legitimate to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with one particular sole purpose – that of entertaining the masses. And who much better to do that than two of the most effectively recognized comedians from the industry?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike crew up for this comedy, creating it the to start with time for the two to be acting collectively on the big monitor. The movie starts with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) doing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Satisfied with their functionality, Babasaheb fulfils their would like of carrying out a occupation for livelihood and receives them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement drive. What follows is a comedy of glitches, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double this means jokes is a tricky place. It wants to have just the suitable equilibrium a tiny significantly less can make it drab, and a minimal more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a stability, earning you chuckle with just the suitable tadka.
The performing department is total of recognised names and they provide what is anticipated of them. Any individual else in place of Bhau Kadam for this role may perhaps not have strike the mark, but the ace comedian nails every single punch line whilst retaining a selected degree of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the excellent companion to Bhau’s Pandu and delivers an similarly very good functionality. Neither of these two overpowers each and every other. Sonalee looks wonderful no doubt, and she also gets to pack a punch (literally) as Usha. The actress’s aspect is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde instructions the monitor as Babasaheb Pathare even though Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise bundle in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s very first 50 percent is, the movie loses rate in the next 50 percent. Even though the climax earns some brownie points, the movie does not make a finish turnaround. There are some supporting characters added for comedian reduction, but accomplishing away with some of them wouldn’t really have created substantially of a change. Hemangi Kavi, for case in point, doesn’t have a lot to do in addition to developing 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 individuals would go to check out the film for. The two really don’t disappoint. The exact same cannot be explained about the movie as a full while.
