Tadka

Heart Warming Moments and Funny Scenes,

Movie is a Remake of Malayalam Movie - Salt and Pepper which was a nice movie.

Direction is good enough to make you engaged but Some Characters like Tapsee Pannu and Ali Fazal are just fill in the blanks.

Ya there was parallel story of them and related to the characters but that part is slow.

I was about to forward a film for minutes and continue watching than Nana Patekar come on screen.

Watching him after a long time on screen was lovely.

Loved his way of dialogue delivery and character as always.

Worth watch (Time pass)

• itsbymayank Review of Tadka.

Just finished watching this gem, it was a very beautiful and refreshing story. All actors have done a great job to deliver strong performance on a well written and engaging story. Especially Nana and Shriya have to be commended for their effort to bring their respective characters alive. Nana's screen presence was absolutely amazing, the range of emotions and depth he has shown in this role has been missing from lot of modern romantic comedies. I hope this movie becomes more popular and more people watch it to keep these style of cinema alive.

Please make more movies like this, as it stimulates positive emotions and makes people fall in love with love again.

Thank you for reading my review...

Not many films are present there nowadays that will make you feel good in Bollywood. Only few dramas that produce here can be said to be standing in a vie with south movies in present time, it seems to me. As in mass, thriller, horror, romance and almost all others genre movie's of south are surpassing or manifested to all kinds of audiences now. Recent time movies like Qarib Qarib Singlle, Ludo, Dasvi and this one from this genre make it worthy to still look up to Bollywood. It's a remake though, I think it's well executed. Though flaws like bad dubbing of tapsee's voice seems weird, It's a good entertainer overall.

Tadka is a romance film directed by prakash raj which is an official hindi remake of the malayalam film "salt n pepper".

Nana patekar is in a fine form. At age 65, he is pushing romantic lines and describing beauty about a purer love and it does not cone as gimmicky. His expressions and especially dialogue delivery is on point. Truely a stalwart of indian cinema. Shriya saran too shines with her acting. At many places, her dubbing was not good. Ali fazal and especially taapsee pannu are wasted here. Taapsee, in her initial years was really an amateur actor. Other characters don't have much space to be fleshed out.

The music is decent. The background score is strictly average. It does not help that the bgm continuously keeps playing at all times. The cinematography is pretty good. The song between ali and taapsee is really oddly placed.

The film beautifully incorporates the beauty of food and delicacy but somehow it throws away that advantage and becomes a typical romantic film. Also the dubbing of taapsee was disheartening and tone-deaf.

As much as i like it, i hope it coukd hv been much more better. I rate it 7 out of 10.

If you are into old school romance, poetry and stuff then you should definitely watch this movie. Nana Patekar and Shriya Saran fits so perfectly in their roles. Nana's dialogue delivery and acting feels like a treat after a long time.

The plot develops a small comparison between new age temporary romance vs poetic or hopeless romantics who believe that they are born for that one person.

I don't usually do reviews but this one just took me back to the time when I first watched Irfan khan's "Qarib Qarib Single". These movies have a different vibe to them and being a Romance and Poetry lover I love these movies.

If you reek of Romance then this movie is just for you.
