Khichdi: The Movie

Aatish Kapadia's Khichdi: The Movie is based on the popular TV series directed by Kapadia himself. I have not seen the series, but the movie is fantastic. Centring around the crazy Parekh family, it is one of the maddest and funniest Indian films I've seen in recent years. It is terribly mad, but it is terribly entertaining. It is mindless, senseless, brainless, over-the-top, insane and ludicrous, but it's just one movie that hooks the audience from the very first moment and for two hours keeps them laughing non-stop. The viewers do not have to think too much but they will certainly find themselves rolling on the floor on numerous occasions. Well, that's at least what happened to me. One thing is sure: Khichdi is silly, but it actually celebrates its silliness and thus manages to create one truly unforgettable laugh riot.

Aatish Kapadia both writes and directs this feature, and he does a good job of it. The movie is also very well cast, with every actor understanding the film's outrageously comic mood and acting accordingly. Supriya Pathak leads the film as the dumb Hansa with a terrific performance that is downright hilarious. Her screen presence is the strongest in the film; when she's on-screen, no one else exists, when she is not, you badly want her to reappear. Rajeev Mehta, Nimisha Vakharia, Jamnadas Majethia and Anang Desai play their roles excellently. What I liked about the film is the fact that it is not an unintentional comedy, it's a well-scripted picture which knows how it wants to work. To sum it up, Khichdi is an outstanding no-brainer and for me it is also quite addictive. I already want to watch it again.

So I went to Khichdi. My friends told its good comedy TV series but I always steered clear of any TV serials. Had no idea about it. And that was a boon for me.

The movie is two hours long and I don't remember when is the last time I've laughed two hours continuously. Its slapstick comedy with over-the-top disaster scenes. Hansa-Prafull jodi is superb!!! both the actors are gem. In every scene they made fun of conventional thinking and filming. Every dialog in every scene is exact opposite of what should be if it was real life.

Hat's off to the writer, director and Khichdi acting cast for gifting such a laugh riot. Want sequels of it.

P.S. got the TV series after watching the movie. Enjoying them thoroughly. How could I missed it earlier......

When i see this movie im thinking it's simple family movie but after half hour I'm never laugh in my whole life. That movie is enjoyable with family.

This movie does not have the famour actors and is FAR THE B3ST COMEDY MOVIE EVER!!!!!

Promise you if you understand hindi well, this is the movie you should be watching. The dialogues are the best! You dont even realise when the movie is over... way too entertaining.

KHICHADI - Hindi movie (2010) - DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE IF YOU ARE A HEART PATIENT.

Thanks God I am Alive.. I could have died.. Died LAUGHING...

First time in my life I had to pause the movie frequently to control my laughter. I assure, even if someone gets a heart attack watching this movie he'd laugh on his way to hospital until doc gives him anesthesia! But then he will remember the hospital sequence from the movie and he'd surely die!

Outrageously funny movie ever made for Indian audience. Character that can kill you is called Praful. ..

"Mein hun praful.. praful hu mein.." ROFLMFAO!!  It starts with an intro story in which God visits the maddest family in the world to give 'Akkal ke laddu' but returns back helplessly after being accused 'Pata nahi kisney tumhe Bhagwaan banaya!'

There on laughter just doesn't leave you. Its very few times in your life you just cant help yourself laughing and try too hard but it just gets doubled. This movie is one of those. Theater equivalent experience of brilliant performances!

Watch it :)
