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!

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 :)

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.

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.

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......
