Khichdi: The Movie

Confession: I am not a fan of "Khichdi" TV series, but the movie certainly had me in splits. Mindless comedy, slapstick comedy, no brainers comedy - "Khichdi" has it all. It actually goes to set a benchmark how a no-brainer should be made. Are you listening who promote their stale comedy with "Leave your brains at home" (and money with us?).

 Supriya Pathak: A scene-stealer. Her performance and dialogue delivery is second to none.

 Anang Desai: Next to Supriya, he is the best.

 Rajeev Mehta:: Strong screen-presence to the extent the "Hansaaaa...." will be etched in your head.

 Himanshu Seth:: Not up to the mark.

 Kirti Kulhari:: Was a glorified miss-goody-two-shoes.

 Satish Shah:: Excellent portrayal, though I thought the entire segment was more of a stocking filler.

 Deven Bhojani: I wish he had more than the miss and blink appearance.

Cameo by Farah Khan goes to show she loves the "Khichdi" TV series. Finally endorsed by Fox... way to go!!!

The plot is wafer-thin but the gags and one-liners keep you on the roll. Certainly a good one-time watch..... and "Leave your brains at home...." ROFL!

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.

The characters are heart and soul of this movie.

All make you laugh till you fall from your sit, be it Hansa, jayshree, bapuji, praful, himanshu, and all supporting characters. Each character has their own distinctive style which creates a situation that leads to fun filled scenes. Simple situational comedy that starts with laugh and ends with laugh.

Atish kapadia and JD majethiya made a superb tv series based on characters of which this movie is based. A top class writing by Kapadia and team.

A complete family movie which all can enjoy repeatedly. I hope to see a newer version of the same in future also.

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......

How refreshing to see a Hindi movie based on an Indian TV-series. I'm not very familiar with Indian TV-series as most of the things I had witnessed on Indian channels were those abysmal soap-operas. Unfortunately, I had not seen the series on which this movie was based. But, after seeing 'Khichdi: The Movie', I wouldn't mind trying it out.

I decided to see the film after catching the trailer. Aatish Kapadia does a fine writing job. Even though there are a few jokes that have been overdone in the past, there are plenty of original and clever ones that make you laugh out loud. The pacing sometimes slackens but it quickly picks up once you notice that it's going a little slow. The story pokes fun at several traditional Bollywood films that went on to become blockbusters but it's more of a homage than a mockery.

But the highlight of 'Khichdi: The Movie' are the Parekhs. They are one of the funniest families I've seen in an Indian movie and they provide some excellent laugh-out-loud moments. Anang Desai, Rajeev Mehta, Nimisha Vakharia and especially Supriya Pathak and Jamnadas Majethia are a laugh riot. The supporting cast contribute well. Even Farah Khan makes a funny appearance as herself.

It's good to see a refreshing Indian comedy film that could actually make you laugh out loud which has become quite rare in today's Hindi cinema. I would like to get a hold of the TV series.
