What can I say? ***Khichdi*** directed by **Aatish Kapadia** is probably the best comedy of 2010 and arguably in the top 10 comedies of the decade.
What an endearing buffoon of a family! The empty heads of the family Himanshu (JD Majethia), his sister (Supriya Pathak), her husband Prafull (Rajeev Mehta) who gets the dumbest ever award from me!, Jayshree (Nimisha Vakharia) and the thankfully sane patriarch of the family Babuji (Anang Desai) light the movie and the heart of the audience with their side-splitting, mind-cracking & back-breaking unintended jokes. Each of them has equally strong roles and also display wonderful performances. These are the best aspects of the movie, besides the hilarious dialogues.
Best performance, I feel, goes to Anang Desai as the Babuji who shows amazing restraint in his expressions which is often difficult to do.
The cool hero-heroine dances, spoof on many popular Hindi movies & dialogues and an attractive appearance by director-choreographer Farah Khan are the other highlights of the movie. Ofcourse, Aatish Kapadia’s direction is tight & leaves us entertained till the end leaving negligible gaps for boredom.
Also, applause goes to the ‘Parminder’ family (all actors who essayed the role of Parminder in a Punjabi family, ya everyone of them has the same name!), especially the actors who play the role of father Parminder and the *beti* Parminder (essayed by the very pretty Kirti Kulhari).
I don't want to reveal any one of my favorite scenes here, to spoil your surprise. Most of them are gems.
For those who probably got no *bang* watching Dabangg or felt no *jaan* watching Anjaana/Anjaani, this could be your lucky ticket. It’s worth your time, money or even medicine! Yes, it can be one of the best anti-depressants released in the market today :)
Verdict – Wanna live healthy? Watch Khichdi and live long. Wanna commit suicide? Watch it and die happy :)
