Khichdi The Movie Movie Reviews

The idiots are heroes, once again. The popular sitcom from television takes on a celluloid avatar as Khichdi: The Movie, trying to recreate the idiot box humour of the family of idiots, where stupidity is the norm and intelligence, an exception. Does the film maker succeed? It isn't easy to translate a television comedy into a film, but director Aatish Kapadia does manage to transcend most of the hiccups. At least, he doesn't have the cast relentlessly posing

For the first time in India, a television sitcom has been adapted into a movie. And Khichdi The Movie is just as mindless a comedy as the television show. All the characters are similar to the serial, and very likeable. The makers have not made too many changes in the film, and have retained the Khichdi magic on the big screen. The gags are childish but funny -- right from the Eshwar (played by Satish Shah) sequences

If you're not a fan of the long-running sitcom and unfamiliar with its cheerfully dim-witted characters, there's a slim chance you're going to appreciate the juvenile humor in "Khichdi: The Movie". The film doesn't stray too far from the television show's signature brand of spectacularly silly situations, but only a handful of key members from the sitcom's extensive roster of characters makes it to this big-screen outing. The Parekh family finds themselves in a dilemma

Performances of the artistes are all fine but the direction & script, is more suited for the small screen.
