Avinash Patalay 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!

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.

mandorg 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 :)

CastleToe The Movie of Schmucks kicks off as a narration of a series of family incidents at a kids campfire, thus justifying the transition of episodes to a movie. A family of Naive Schmucks in today's world? Satish Shah's Introduction cameo (as a God visiting each house to distribute "Sweets of Intellect") in an engaging scene explains it all. "No one can face God, but even God cant face them" Agreed..Point Noted!Next, we have Hansa's (Supriya Pathak, "Over-the-Top" Schmuck) father dying(??) & hoping that his son Himanshu's (Producer J.D.Majethia, "Cook" Schmuck) wish be fulfilled. The Death Ceremony involves singing parodies of Bollywood chart busters & no remorse; it is here that the movie stands out, an unconventional death scene for a Hindi film, avoiding the usual set of associated emotions, that would have seemed out of place anyway. Bravo!The Schmucks set out to find a match for the "Cook" Schmuck which pretty much makes up the rest of the Movie. Eventually, the girl-next-door(Kirti Kulhari, "Adorable" Schmuck) falls for him, marriage is arranged but the movie cant finish so soon. Hero single, not ready to mingle?The pot-holed screen play(Director Aatish Kapadia) intentionally/ unintentionally manages to draw a subtle line between poking fun & pulling leg. The remorse-less death ceremony, the fact that Punjabis have no masculinity or femininity with respect to their names,legendary love stories incomplete without strife; they pulled the legs of the many mannerisms of society without hurting any sentiments. Gets on your nerves, maybe? But that's an achievement, indeed! Also, a Modern-Day story with a Moustached Lead Hero, side-characters seeking for trouble in a Love Story instead of uniting the Lovers makes for an unusual comic premise. The feat is pulled off with panache. Other Actors, Anang Desai("Sensible" Schmuck), sister-in-law Nimisha Vakharia("Leadership" Schmuck) & Rajeev Mehta("The REAL Schmuck") add to the spice of this brain-no-longer-in-your-knee story. Cinematography(Sanjay Jadhav) was vibrant & colorful. Editing(Hemal Kathari) & Background Score(Raju Singh) had hardly much of a job!Worth mentioning points here are the lyrics & placing of the song "Bhosale Market" which confirms the fact that the Movie is indeed pulling the leg of the conventional RomComs. The plot which carefully branches into subplots & side-incidents & jokes (PJs all the way!!) doesn't stray off too much(they brought in an overheated Farah Khan for what?) into satire or romance & as such ensures no break in its continuity. Khichdi defines its own genre between satire, romance, drama & slapstick comedy. By far, one of the few movies which kept the audiences in the halls up to the end of the credits(which were worth watching)The trailer doesn't promise High Expectations...It says "Khichdi, Now on the Big Screen".Now, I was never glued to TV sitcoms, so could I watch Khichdi? The answer is a loud "Yes"Hansa: Khichdi ?? What is...??Praful: Khichdi, Hansa....Kheech->PullKhich-Di -> Pulled itYeah, Khichdi team, you have pulled it off well!6 and +1 for "Bhosale Market" song & a different attempt at humourOverall 7 out of 10
