The late Dada Kondke has encouraged an overall generation of viewers, filmmakers and actors in Maharashtra, and Pandu is a testimony of that. No, it’s not a remake or sequel of Dada Kondke’s legendary Pandu Hawaldar, but a tribute to Dada Kondke.

Pandu would not make tall statements it stays genuine to the essence of Dada Kondke’s movies, with a person sole function – that of entertaining the masses. And who superior to do that than two of the most properly acknowledged comedians from the market?

Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike group up for this comedy, earning it the first time for the two to be performing with each other on the huge monitor. The movie commences with the Bhau (Pandu) and Kushal (Mhadu) doing at a programme in honour of politician Babasaheb Pathare (Pravin Tarde). Pleased with their general performance, Babasaheb fulfils their wish of accomplishing a position for livelihood and will get them inducted as Hawaldars in the Mumbai police pressure. What follows is a comedy of faults, twists and turns, and a hatke climax.

Comedy with double this means jokes is a tough spot. It requirements to have just the proper harmony a little considerably less can make it drab, and a small far more can make it crass. Director Viju Mane manages to strike a balance, generating you snicker with just the correct tadka.

The acting division is whole of identified names and they deliver what’s envisioned of them. Anyone else in area of Bhau Kadam for this role may not have hit the mark, but the ace comic nails each individual punch line whilst retaining a selected degree of innocence. Kushal as Mhadu is the ideal companion to Bhau’s Pandu and delivers an similarly very good efficiency. Neither of these two overpowers every single other. Sonalee seems to be attractive no question, and she also gets to pack a punch (pretty much) as Usha. The actress’s part is pivotal to Pandu’s plot. Pravin Tarde instructions the display screen as Babasaheb Pathare when Prajakta Mali emerges as a surprise bundle in this equation as Babasaheb’s daughter.

As entertaining as Pandu’s initial 50 % is, the film loses pace in the second 50 percent. While the climax earns some brownie points, the film does not make a complete turnaround. There are some supporting figures added for comic reduction, but carrying out away with some of them wouldn’t really have built considerably of a variation. Hemangi Kavi, for case in point, does not have substantially to do moreover creating Mhadu’s married existence, nor does Shahbaz Khan.

All claimed and completed, Bhau Kadam and Kushal Badrike’s camaraderie is the emphasize of the film. That’s also what most people would go to watch the film for. The two don’t disappoint. The exact same are unable to be stated about the movie as a entire though.
