Khichdi-The Movie: Fans are in for a tasty treat.
They are back, this time on the big screen. The famous Indian sit-com “Khichdi” which started in the early 2000’s is the first Indian sit-com to make it to the silver screen. I am a big Khichdi fan, so this review might be a bit biased. Frankly speaking, this film is only for Khichdi fans.
The story starts at a camp, the 2 smartest members of the Parekh family “Jacky” and “Chakki” tells a story of the dumbest family on the planet. Their story starts with the family doing their routine madness. Babuji (Anagh Desai) being treated disrespectfully by each and every member of the family, Jayshree’s (Nimisha Vakharia) never ending gossips. The pudding head, Hansa’s (Supriya Pathak) , the pillock, praful (Rajeev Mehta) and his lame explanations and finally Himanshu (Jamnadas Majethia) hansa’s brother, a caterer by profession equally stupid like all the other members of the family. The story revolves around himanshu’s dream of making his love story legendary. There is another equally absurd family in the neighborhood, the family of ‘parminders’. After getting rejected by a number of girls, one of the lady parminder from the parminder family finally agrees to tie a knot with Himanshu, just then himanshu realizes that his love story is simple and does not have any drama. The plot is basically what the Parekh family does to make it a great love story as per himanshu’s dream.
It’s a fun ride with all the typical khichdi jokes and the insanity, some are sure to throw you off your seat. Khichdi’s humour may be repetitive but it has achieved cult status as it created a new genre of humour. The patent dialogues and mannerisms of the Khichdi characters bring a lot of humour to the movie.
Aatish Kapadia, the writer and the director of the film, has done a terrific job. He knows his actors well and has produced excellent comic timing. The music is a sore point but I’m fine with it, I never expected good music.
The whole cast is splendid and they know what they are doing, though I missed Vandana Pathak (Jayshree in the serial). Fans just can’t miss this one, for others it may be an average experience.
It’s a 3.5/5 for Aatish kapadia’s “Khichdi”, go for it, it’s really tasty.
Rating:3.5/5
