'Aapdi Thapdi' stands out as an example of what a heartwarming story paired with powerful performances can achieve.
While narration is often used as a crutch in many films, Daamu (Sandeep Pathak) introducing the characters sets the tone for a movie that plays out much like the tales of Malgudi Days. Sakharam Patil (Shreyas Talpade) has a hundred life hacks when it comes to saving money, as he lies, cons and straight up bulldozes his way through life. His wife (Mukta Barve) and daughter (Khushi Hajare) bear this behavior as he still is a loving husband and father.
Patil's comeuppance is when he loses something of great value to his daughter, as he pushes his luck one too many times. Now, he has to go against his lifelong instinct to win back the love of his family.
In a deviation from the loud, in-your-face slapstick comedies, this film presents a subtle, captivating story. Talpade gives a performance that can truly be counted as one of his career bests. Mukta Barve and Khushi Hajare are praiseworthy too, while Sandeep Pathak as the eternally loyal friend and Nandu Madhav as the TC with the heart of gold win your heart. Director Anand Karir's visual treatment brings each scene to life and ties you into the world of these lovable characters.
'Aapdi Thaapdi' feels like a warm hug. It is a simple story of simple people that ends up teaching the audience several small lessons.

The movie is an emotional and heartwarming film that delivers a powerful life lesson about the value of relationships while still providing plenty of laughter.
The film tells the story of a family of a miserly but wealthy man. The performances by Shreyas Talpade and Mukta Barwe are exceptional, and their chemistry on screen is a joy to watch. Sandeep Pathak and Khushi Hazare convince you to believe the situation and connect you with the characters in the movie. The humour in the film is perfectly balanced with the more serious moments, creating a realistic and heartfelt portrayal of the ups and downs of life.
The film's central message is about valuing human relationships above money. It reminds us that we are all connected and that life is better when we keep our loved ones happy.
Negatives are some moments where you might think that a person cannot go to this extent to save money. But Director Anand Karir does an excellent job of bringing the story to life, balancing the film's various tones and themes with skill and sensitivity. He captures the characters' emotions so that the audience even feels connected to the goat character in movie.

It's a treat to watch with your family, it shows how one common man and his family faces the obstacles coming in their life. Especially their adjustment because of their financial condition. Shreyansh Talpade had done a fabulous job in this movie, and how can I forget Little girl in that movie who is playing Shreyansh Talpade's daughter. Her Screen presence was too good. Other Characters of their village also did good job in movie. So You can watch this movie with your complete family. Last but Not Least this Movies Captain of the ship Anand Karir Succeed in their moto to Deliver the Story in every common man's Heart.
This movie comes on Zee Yuva once in a while. Total timepass and nice music. I saw it only for my favourite actress Mukta Barva. Was sad to see that she was not much in the movie but whatever little she has done, it is a good job. The story is simple and sweet and not very predictable about the stupid things which characters do. But much better than seeing maar dhaad cinema which is giving hedache.
Shreyas is funny and character playing Damu is good actor. Even the girl who plays the daughter is nice. Best of all, i like the small goat Pinku who makes a special appearence but is qute. The TC is the same guy who played in Harishchandrachi Factory. Good cast, good performance. Simple story.

Aapdi Thadi is a very simple film, filled with very real, very relatable characters and they do have a tale to tell.
Shreays Talpade is a loving father and husband, with just one flaw: He'd put Uncle Scrooge to shame with his miserly behaviour. He is put to the ultimate test when his penny pinching leads to confiscation of his daughter's pet goat by the railway authorities. A very simple plot that is brought to life in vivid detail in a small town in Maharashtra.
Every character in the movie has been etched out well, and all the actors have brought in something to the part. Damu, as the loving sidekick of the hero, does a fabulous job. As do most of the actors in the movie. The TC and his wife (a childless couple) who end up taking care of the goat take us through their own joys and sorrows.
Watch this film with your family. And most certainly take your family's Kanjoos Chacha along.
