Tadka

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.

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.

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.

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.
