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...

For all those who want to watch a love story(on the lines of lunch box) then this movie is for You. I wish Taapse and Ali fazal had dubbed for this movie. Taapsee's presence with tadka of dubbed voice is the most irritating part of this movie. Nana Patekar is in Good form and the supporting cast(except Taapsee) did a fantabulous job. I even loved the background music of this movie. Very effective. This role was tailor made for Irfan Khan but sadly he is no more with us. But Nana Patekar did do justice after all he is versatile too. If ME2 thing was not going on with Nana. I think more people would have watched and appreciated.

After a long time got to see a master piece of such a cute love story. It just brought a warm smile on my face. I never go and post any comment instead enjoy what's made for us but for this movie I really felt applauding.

Though the name of this movie is Tadka, but the taste is really a kind of heart melting & some toppings which makes you laugh n smile.

Thank you to the script writer, director, Tukaram, Madhura and every ingredient who worked on this movie to make it simple yet special. Keep it up. And nana a special hug to you.

I will simply say, just don't hop on any review and instead watch it without any distraction. It's worth it.

The movie script is a copy piece of sirf tum movie. The love by voice is an experiment. Overall movie is good. But the end need some more scenes like confession by duplicate couple to the main couple. The songs not properly fit with the script. Some character are just burdening the movie. Too much emotional scene by Mandra making no sense. The dialogues of Tukaram/Nana Patekar is as previously seen in all his movies, so no improvement in acting is seen. The movie is entertaining after all and put the viewer in suspense till last whether the couple can meet each other. If script was well developed by more modification in story then it will be big hit this year in cinema halls.

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.
