Tadka

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.

The storyline appeared to have promise as a story of two people destined to be together because of their love (obsession for one of them) with food but a number of misunderstandings get between them.

I'm a big fan of Nana Patekar and Taapsee Pannu which is why I watched this movie. Unfortunately, Nana did not occupy the Tukaram character as much as the character became Nana with all his mannerisms. Shriya Saran turned in a good performace. Taapsee had a smaller role than Shriya Saran and played almost a caricature; far from her role in Thappad. And Ali Fazal was barely used.

Impressed with Iravati Harshe who I don't remember seeing on screen before.

And the background music when people were talking was very loud, jarring and intrusive when it should have been subtle.

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.

What happens when a man who never knows what's love meets a lady unexpectedly and How's their spicy conversation turns out to be soft and sweet, That's Tadka's 1st half. But after Interval the story turns into an interesting way which changes both of our lead roles life style.

So can they meet their right person?

That's all about the modern day zaykedaar movie Tadka... Nana Patekar has done a tremendous job in this movie. His voice, his acting, his funny lines and also his romantic poetries, In all way seeing Nana Patekar in a new look after so many years is a treat for cinefiles. He has delivered a beautiful dialogue during 1:30:00 to 1:33:00.. That's a beautiful moment.

Shriya Saran has proved that she is better actress as always. Looking beautiful and has shown a matured behaviour in his character.

Beautifully shot in Goa, Prakash Raj has done such a wonderful experiment with his directorial debut

A must watch..👍👍👍

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...
