Pandu won’t make tall promises it stays legitimate to the essence of Dada Kondke’s films, with a person sole purpose – that of entertaining the masses. And who much better to do that than two of the most effectively recognised comedians from the field?
Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike team up for this comedy, building it the initial time for the two to be acting with each other on the large display. The movie begins with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) executing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Delighted with their functionality, Babasaheb fulfils their desire of undertaking a work for livelihood and receives them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai law enforcement power. What follows is a comedy of problems, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.
Comedy with double that means jokes is a difficult location. It demands to have just the ideal equilibrium a very little less can make it drab, and a minor much more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a harmony, earning you laugh with just the right tadka.
The performing office is entire of identified names and they produce what is predicted of them. Any one else in put of Bhau Kadam for this part may possibly not have hit the mark, but the ace comic nails every single punch line although retaining a selected stage of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the ideal companion to Bhau’s Pandu and delivers an similarly very good effectiveness. Neither of these two overpowers each and every other. Sonalee looks lovely no doubt, and she also gets to pack a punch (literally) as Usha. The actress’s element is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde commands the display screen as Babasaheb Pathare while Prajakta Mali emerges as a shock package in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.
As entertaining as Pandu’s to start with 50 % is, the film loses tempo in the 2nd half. Although the climax earns some brownie points, the movie does not make a comprehensive turnaround. There are some supporting people extra for comic reduction, but undertaking away with some of them wouldn’t actually have manufactured substantially of a distinction. Hemangi Kavi, for example, doesn’t have much to do apart from creating Mhadu’s married everyday living, nor does Shahbaz Khan.
All stated and carried out, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the emphasize of the film. That is also what most men and women would go to view the film for. The two do not disappoint. The exact same can’t be claimed about the film as a complete while.
