Movie Review: Khichdi

Based on a popular TV soap, Khichdi brings you intimately close to the Parekh family - Babuji, his wife Jayshree bhabhi, their son Praful, daughter-in-law Hansa, and Hansa's brother Himanshu. When Hansa and Himanshu's father passes away, Babuji and Jayshree vow to help Himanshu live his dream - to have an immortal love story. And they need to start with finding him a bride. That problem is solved when pretty Parminder, younger sister of Parminder, from the neighbouring family of Parminders (yes, they are all called Parminder - easier to remember names, that way, says Praful!) falls in love with Himanshu... but the fun is just beginning!

The plot oscillates between ridiculous and a little beyond the crazy, and the jokes and screenplay remind you of your college skits cooked up over countless cups of dark coffee in those mosquito-infested hostel rooms, but one thing is certain - Khichdi works.

A little editing and a little tempering might have made Khichdi a lot more tasteful, but then as they say - perfect is not always the best!

Have a little Khichdi this weekend, it's totally worth the time.
