Movie Review by: Sandeep Hattangadi

Bharat Jadhav is a very saleable name on the marquee today and some of his films are only written for him. Writer Anil Pawar has written ‘Hello-Gandhe Sir’ keeping only Bharat in mind and he delivers in a style.

Gangya (Bharat Jadhav) is a ‘tapori’ kind of guy who wants to enjoy life on his own terms after being physically and mentally abused by an ambitious hawaldar father (Suhas Palshikar) who wants his son to be a Collector, but he turns out to be an academic failure. Fate leads Gangya to a college where he is appointed as a dance teacher but the principal (Dr.Girish Oak) is a strict disciplinarian who hates art forms like acting, dancing, etc. and believes that bookish learning is the only education for the young.

But, Gangya rebels against him and his ideas and in this fight loses his life. He comes back as a ghost and transforms Gandhe Sir into a caring, compassionate, fun loving person. The film in its first half seems to be inspired by films like ‘Sound Of Music’ and ‘Dead Poets Society’ and the latter half resembles the Salman Khan hit ‘Hello Brother’ and the Ashok Saraf’s hit ‘Ek Daav Bhootacha’.

Anyway, the film does entertain and the director duo Sandip Deshpande-Samir Naik make a good debut. The performance by Bharat Jadhav is one of his best in recent times. Dr.Girish Oak is a good choice. Vijay Chavan as ‘mama’ and Ganesh Divekar also produce laughters. Mangala Kenkre, Sia Patil, Nayan Jadhav, Vijay Kenkre, Ravindra Berde and guest actor Vinay Yedekar lend good support.
The cinematography by Sameer Athalye is a bit erratic with brightly lit scenes first and dull scenes later on. But the final product has good technical values. The music score by Pradeep Kunvar is tuneful and the lyrics by Samruddhi Pawar are good. The editing is a bit jerky. The choreography deserves a special mention.
