Today marks the beginning of the next installment of laughter and craziness with Khichdi franchisee again and we have Babuji (Anang Desai) , Praful Parekh (Rajeev Mehta), Hansa Parekh (Supriya Pathak) and Jayshree Parekh (Vandana Pathak) also the rest of the mad pack. Khichdi is from the house of UTV Software Communications and Hats Off Productions. There have been two season in the franchisee already and has been a hit with a number of reruns on different channels.The Parekh family is a major hit amongst laughter lovers. This family does gets to us in the most interesting way with its innocently smooth comedy and timing.

Plot

The storyline remains the same with the same characters and the same strangely mad family. Jayshree and Babuji share the same love-hate bond where they can go to the extremes of killing each other. Hansa and Praful too are the cutest couple who find their way into trouble and out of it time and again. Babuji asks for his morning tea and he gets some tea yes with a half paratha. Jayshree is busy speaking to her friend in jail and asks her for a selfie with the "jail ki chakki". Himanshu runs in with bad information as usual about Praful getting into trouble and as usual Babuji with Jayshree are not very effected by the information. Some goons walk in with with swords and sticks threatening to kill Babuji if they did not return their money. Hansa and Praful are striving hard to convince a poor confused inspector -whom she calls havaldar sahab. They complain about Dsouza who has broken their bat -and yes they explain all the games except cricket. Later Dsouza says this is injustice to stay in the house without rent to which we have Hansa's doubt about what is Injustice and we have Mr. Praful to the rescue. Himanshu explains how they bath in plastic covered bathroom due to their worst condition. Jayshree asks the men to kill Babuji if they want and this does make the men leave. Later in the night we see a Himanshu walking around the house with a toilet seat as he wants to watch the news while going. Babuji is forced to leave as he sits right beside eating food. Babuji gets a threatening call and this time it is Bavaskar Madam(Renuka Sahane) she asks him to commit suicide or die. Babuji ties a rope as he starts committing suicide and the family is worried about the rope on which Jayshree dries clothes. Babuji tells them in plain words about his death plans and they help him do it by snatching away the stool. Somehow poor Babuji is saved as Jayshree realises that no one would clean the utensils if Babuji dies. Jayshree cannot untie the knot from Babuji's throat and she decides to make him the pole. Babuji tells the family about the threat. The family though is more worried about how he will go to toilet or play caroms. Jayshree feels bad for Babuji and she asks Himanshu to hang Babuji. All this while Hansa sits selecting sarees for her- white and colour as they decide on whether Babuji should die or not.  The kids come to Babuji's rescue as they give him a bag filled with money which Praful kept outside the house. Next morning as the Parekh men go on with the money to meet Bavaskar behen Jayshree runs to inform them that while she was stealing at a mall she lost Hansa. They now start the search for Hansa and the first place they search is Gents Toilet, yes and end up speaking to a person busy in the toilet. They approach the police finally and Praful takes them to all the places Hansa will not be plus he also gives the police his photo saying whoever calls it Mera Praful will be Hansa. The police finally call the group to identify dead bodies in morgue. They lavishly select the bodies taking their own good time. Finally they manage to find Hansa has been kidnapped by Bavaskar behen.

Review

The Khichdi family is the same and we cannot keep from laughing. Praful and Hansa return with their explanations for words and Babuji with Jayshree continue trying to kill each other. The concept the take everything remains the same as before and we are not complaining as it was all the best always. The actors are all in their right form as always with each surpassing the other. In all it is game on for Khichdi with not many things on the lower side.
