Watch Khichdi (Hindi)

Khichdi is a popular Hindi television comedy series that first aired in 2002 on Star Plus channel. The show is created by Hats Off Productions, a notable banner in Indian television, and directed by versatile Aatish Kapadia. Khichdi soon garnered a lot of attention and support from its audience, who found the show to be a remarkable blend of absurdity and laughter. In fact, its enormous success led creators to come up with a second season and two movies, making it one of the few TV shows to be adapted into film.

The essence of Khichdi revolves around a Gujarati family named Parekh, which is represented as an avatar of clumsiness and hilarity, a stark contrast to the usual portrayal of the perfect Indian family in tele-serials. The delight of the show is that its focal nucleus is an unconventional group of people, each carrying a unique and different personality that adds to the comic element of the plot.

Every episode of the show arcs around these characters being entangled in peculiar and eccentric situations, often a byproduct of their own nonsensical doings. The humor is steeped in their failed attempts to solve problems or widen them, leading to an ultimate display of chaos and confusion, all wrapped in rib-tickling comedy. It is their flawed understanding of situations and uncanny responses to them that lead to a series of incidents which are outlandishly funny, offering the viewers an incessant laughter riot.

The main characters of Khichdi include Tulsidas Parekh (a.k.a. Babuji), the elderly head of the family who is often frustrated by his family
