Rawal Afzal We as a family are huge fans of this film ever since we caught a few glimpses of it on the Indian film channel Star Gold. Everyone of us noted its name and arranged for us this film within days so that we could watch it from the beginningIt is the utter nonsense nature of the family's thoughts that makes it a once in a lifetime experience. I remember the first time we watched it none of us could get over the fact how someone can act as daal in a play (and the other two as a pateelah and the Taj Mahal)! It is a laugh riot of the highest order and I must commend whoever came up with such a unique idea of comedy, as apart from the aforementioned ones there were many other jokes that I could on about for hours (like "October tak parrhha hoo'n", the jaleybee scene, the bell/bull scene, the courtroom madness and many more!)Hansa, Himanshu and Praful should go down as amongst the funniest characters in the history of comedy films! I really hope that they make a some kind of sequel of it.Now, there's a thought of objecting to making fun of Sikhs as a community, and I would fully understand anyone who disliked it, but one thing I must commend the Sikhs for is that they tend to be thick-skinned and rarely take offence to jokes about them. It is their own non-reaction to such comedy and jokes that makes us take it our stride in the first place. Sure enough, if they begin to take offence to such stuff then people would think twice about making such a film and the viewers too would begin to feel uncomfortable. So kudos to the Sikh community for this!

saish746 Khichdi- A Dose of Unlimited Thali is not just a dish made of rice and daal, but this Khichdi has all the M for Garam Masalas, T for Lemons and B for Fried Onions'- Tadka maad ke !!!!!You will not only be served with Khichdi but the full unlimited thali. And you will get:Ghee :as Witty lines are the USPs Baingan ka Bharta:Jayshree Enjoy Aaloo ka bharta (mashed potato with onions, green chili and salt):Hansa and crisp Papad : Tulsidas get along with Pickles too: Praful Then lick tomato chutney (blanched tomato, onion, green chili): Lady Parminder and finally Raita: Himanshu.The TV sitcom has come to silver screen, and a movie buff like me who never watches these sitcoms was all surprised. The laughter kept coming in small pockets from this super-characterization of Parekh families. The movie will not push you with the humor, but the consistent smile with the non consistent head shakes that will make you wonder about the silly and witty lines. The whole family is real stupid, down to the core. At least the khichdi is clean and hygienic, with no double meaning at all like our new generation of comedy. Yes the whole family can watch and enjoy this Gujju delicacy. This is an answer to The Simpsons and his family of idiots, You cannot find better idiots than them. The screenplay is not idiotic but smart and rule the movie. Real dumb and dumber and dumberer. The camera and direction is simple and no special mention is required. The forced songs are useless but again spoof, however the market song is better. All the actors are well justified and they are within the skin of their TV roles.2star for the screenplay and the courage of transforming small screen coms to silver screen.

Chrysanthepop 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.

Shyam Narayanan TK (ShyamNTK) Imagine yourself laughing uncontrollably watching a movie, almost blocking your breath, and when you reach a state that you can't hold it anymore, you may choke, and you 'pause' the movie for a while, relax, and 'resume' the movie again, just to laugh uncontrollably and choke again. If you want to experience this, watch 'Khichdi. It is a complete laugh riot, that the we feel that the words like 'LOL'(Laugh out Loud) and 'ROFL'(Rolling on Floor, Laughing) were made to describe this movie. It is truly a laughter ride, the Khichdi family makes you laugh like you had never been, before!!Khichdi is a simple movie, without big stars. It is the film version of a TV series of the same name, and the same characters are retained in the movie. The movie is about Hansa, Praful, Himanshu, Jayshree, Babuji, and around 50 Parminders. The PJs of these people will make you die laughing, for around 110 minutes of your life!! Watch the movie, you will know.I love PJs and jokes even more stupid than PJs, and I always wanted to be a good PJist, and was proud of my PJs. I also believed no one can beat my standard in PJs. But, after watching Khichdi I realised that I have to raise my PJ standards immediately. This movie goes to a level which is beyond your imagination. If you are a PJ lover, this is the real treat for you. I'm sure you will rate it a minimum of 8/10. It is obvious, because the makers have added so much of PJs in the movie.We see comedy movies becoming great successes, with double meaning comedies. Often it is not so comfortable to watch such movies with our family. But this Khichdi is purely green, and you can watch it with your kids, parents, or even grandparents.There is a cold war between the characters of the movie, to prove that who is more stupid. Hansa, Himanshu and Praful all the three of them behave so stupidly, that we can't make a conclusion on who is more stupid. Obviously, all of them are damn funny too. Supriya Pathak is in her extreme form, and is great in each and every scene. After a simple 'Maa' role in 'Wake Up Sid', she does a character with a completely new flavour, and she is extremely successful in this role. Rajeev Mehta is first rate as Praful. He is better than most of the comedians of bollywood, and his gestures and expressions are fantastic. Jamnadas Majethia is very good as Himanshu. He is also damn funny, and is excellent. Anang Desai and Nimisha Vakharia are good in their respective roles as Babuji and Jayshree. The new girl who played 'Parminder' was cute. The cameos by Farah Khan and Satish Shah were good. There are many situations in the movie, which will make the entire house down. Few of them are:1. The 'Akal ke Ladoo' scene 2. Funeral scene 3. The night scene in Chhedi Singh's house 4. The hospital scene 5. The entire court sceneOn the whole, Khichdi is a complete entertainer, and is never to be missed if you like simple comedy movies. It is an opportunity to laugh continuously for almost 2 hours, and never miss this opportunity.
