Plot
Redu is the story of Tatu and his family living in a humble village in Konkan, set in the early 1970s. Tatu a short-tempered, irate middle-aged simpleton, is fascinated and curious to see a ‘redu’, a small portable transistor, for the first time in his life. Serendipitous circumstances allow him to possess a ‘redu’ himself. The gadget makes his ordinary life full of excitement and fun. And the people in his village start looking at him in a different light once he possesses this marvel of an innovation. It ups his common status to a special one. And Tatu gets very attached to this ‘redu’, the newest member of his family, and everything it brings with it. But nothing lasts forever ... a sudden loss of his prized possession leaves Tatu disheartened and dejected. Refusing to accept this altered reality, Tatu embarks on a quest to reclaim what once belonged to him. Redu is a humorous bittersweet story of one man's life, love, values, and his will to go on despite the odds, set against the spectacular backdrop of rural Konkan.

Critical reception
Mihir Bhanage of TOI gave the film a 3.5 out of 5 rating, saying that Redu warms up with a light-hearted approach and gradually develops into an emotionally rewarding experience. Though the film is in Malvani, the language doesn't act as a barrier. This one is definitely worth a watch.[6][7]
Nandini Ramanath of Scroll.in critiqued, saying the story is too skimpy to merit a 110-minute movie, and Vanjari and his team of writers try to layer the screenplay by focusing on the locations and examining the relationships between the characters.The experience that Shashank Shende and Chhaya Kadam bring to their roles elevates this rural fairy tale above its shortcomings.
Mayur Lookhar of Cinestaan gave the film a 3 out of 5 rating, saying that Director Sagar Vanjari's endearing drama of a poor man's obsession with his radio is a laughter fest worth tuning in to.
Just a couple of weeks prior to its release, Redu won Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and 4 more Maharashtra State Awards.[8]
