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.

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.

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.

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...
