Television series[edit]
Khichdi (2002–2004)[edit]
Khichdi follows the story of a Gujarati family called Parekhs, who live in an old mansion. The joint family encounters many typically Indian situations, but they try to solve it in the most atypical fashion imaginable. This is a funny bunch of people that is firmly united in their movement to get separated. They want to sell their ancestral property and move out and form their own nuclear families. But the head of their family does not agree. He gives them the choice to walk out and survive on their own; but nobody is ready to let go of the money that is due to them. So they stay together and wait for the 'head' to change his mind or stop breathing, whichever happens first. And this is where the upwardly mobile middle class joint family faces its trials and tribulations. Khichdi is a look at the lighter side of an Indian joint family.
Instant Khichdi (2005–2006)[edit]
The series portrays the life of an eccentric Gujarati joint family living in Bombay. The family is led by the elderly Tulsidas Parekh and consists of his offspring, who he acquired at a local carnival. The first season, particularly the initial episodes, focus on the idiosyncratic members of the family who are only united by their desire to separate from each other. Since the patriarch does not permit them to sell off their house and separate into nuclear families, they live on hoping that he changes his mind or passes away. Eventually, they move into a much larger house left behind by a deceased aunt.
-They become overnight millionaires when they discover oil in their older property. The second season portrays humorous depictions of a bourgeois family that is trying to settle itself into higher society with their new-found wealth. They live on in their own eccentric way, trying to ace the lives of the super-rich.
The first season portrayed the trials and tribulations of a joint family and often touched an emotional cord. Later on, particularly in the second season the show started focusing more on the situational comedy, as the characters started fitting themselves into their eccentricities. Several new characters were added during the course of the show. It is largely episodic with most plots running for one or two episodes. At times it runs into subplots that last a few episodes such as the marriages of Miraben, Raju, and Himanshu. Rarely, episodes run into flashback such as the marriage of Praful and Hansa.
Khichdi (2018)[edit]
A new continuation series premiered on Star Plus from April 14, 2018.
The Parekhs gets stuck after the builder escapes in between the construction of their apartment and some people threaten them to kill until they do not return the money taken in exchange of apartments.[3]
Film[edit]
Khichdi: The Movie (2010)[edit]
A film based on the series, titled Khichdi: The Movie, was released on 1 October 2010 and starred the same principal cast. It became the first Indian television series to be adapted into a film.[4] The film faced stiff competition from big-budget movies like Priyanka Chopra - Ranbir Kapoor starrer Anjaana Anjaani and dubbed Hindi version of Aishwarya Rai - Rajinikanth starrer Enthiran (Robot) and in the end its performance at the box office was termed below average.[5]
Future[edit]
After Khichdi: The Movie, makers are planning a sequel to the movie.[6][7][8]

Characters[edit]
Main[edit]
| Character | Portrayed by | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tulsidas Parekh | Anang Desai | He is the family patriarch. He is always in a bad mood but is known to have a good heart. His wife, Damyanti, Tulsidas lives with his family in his very old ancestral house called 'Mohan Niwas'. He does not agree to sell it at any cost, in spite of repeated persuasion from his children. He appears to be fed up of his family members but, deep down, loves them. All family members call him 'Babuji'. |
| Praful Parekh | Rajeev Mehta | He is the eldest son of Tulsidas. He is notoriously stupid. He is often seen interpreting things at face value, leading to hilarious situations. He never does anything right, which makes people (especially Tulsidas) mad at him, who would utter the now popular dialog 'Praful! Tu toh Gadhaa Hai!' (Praful! You're a Donkey!). He also translates English words for his wife, although always incorrectly. |
| Hansa Parekh | Supriya Pathak | She is Praful's wife. She is as stupid as Praful, or perhaps more than him. She never works in the house, while repeating, 'Mein to thak gayi bhaaishaab' ('I'm so tired'). She is always richly dressed and cannot live without wearing 'Gajre' (strings of flowers) in her hair. She doesn't speak English and hence needs to have it translated by Praful, which has great comic results. |
| Jayshree Parekh | Vandana Pathak | She is the widowed daughter-in-law of Tulsidas. She is the wife of Praful's brother, Bharat. She loves to cook & gossip and is often seen on the phone talking to her Ba (mother). She controls the management of the household. She aims to sell 'Mohan Niwas' and live in an independent apartment. She always irritates Tulsidas while serving tea to him. Hansa and Jayshree are childhood friends. |
| Himanshu Seth | Jamnadas Majethia | He is Hansa's younger brother. He also lives with the Parekhs & is as stupid as Hansa & Praful, with Babuji derisively addressing him as Moonchowaale Hansa (Mustached Hansa). He has a Catering business. His favorite line is 'Kissi ko pata nahi chalega' ('No one will know about it'). |
| Chakki Parekh | Richa Bhadra | She is the daughter of Praful and Hansa. Unlike her parents, she is intelligent. She has a catchphrase, 'Bade Log Bade Log' (Oh! the elders, the elders!), which she repeats along with her cousin Jacky. |
| Jackky Parekh | Yash Mittal | He is the only son of Jayshree. Like Chakki, he is also intelligent and has the catchphrase 'Bade Log Bade Log', which he says along with Chakki. |
Recurring[edit]
| Character | Portrayed by | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Badi Maa | Dina Pathak / Lily Patel | She is the mother of Tulsidas. Her name is Tiwariben Parekh. She is very funloving and very fond of pani-puri (a popular spicy snack). |
| Raju Parekh | Amit Varma | He is the third son of Tulsidas. He starts flirting with any young beautiful girl he meets. He is married to Melissa. |
| Melissa Parekh | Tina Parekh | She is Raju's wife. She is beautiful and well-educated. Jayshree is jealous of her and calls her 'Kadki'. Tulsidas regularly says of her, 'Maine to pehle hi kaha tha ki ye ladki Raju ke liye theek nahi hai' ('I had said at the outset that this girl is not right for Raju'). |
| Heera Parekh | Arya Rawal | She is the daughter of Tulsidas. She is very lazy and always has the urge to go to toilet. She is older than her fraternal-twin, Meera. |
| Madhuri | Sweety Nayak | She is Heera's personal maid. Though she is a servant, Tulsidas is scared of her because she always gets angry with him. |
| Meera Parekh | Ami Trivedi | She is the youngest daughter of Tulsidas. She always holds a stick & behaves like a teacher. She is married to Bhavesh Kumar. |
| Bhavesh Kumar | Kamlesh Oza | He is Meera's husband. He lives with the Parekhs instead of in his own house. He is always hungry and keeps eating all the time, without doing any work. |
| Mr. Mehta | Dinyar Contractor | He is the boss of Praful in office. He always gets mad at Praful's mistakes. |
| Parminder Singh (I) | Gireesh Sahedev | He becomes the neighbor of Parekhs when they start living in 'Jagdamba Niwas'. In his entire family, everybody else is also named Parminder. He always argues with Tulsidas. He & his family imitate all the happenings in Chandigarh in their lifestyle. |
| Bhabhi Parminder | Seema Pandey | She is Parminder's wife. Whenever she speaks, she makes a weird face which confuses everyone whether she meant good or bad. |
| Bhai Parminder | Damandeep Singh Baggan | He is Parminder's younger brother. He is equally stupid like Praful. |
| Behen Parminder | Anokhi Srivastava | She is Parminder's younger sister. She gets married to Himanshu. |
| Jignesh | Aatish Kapadia | He is Jayshree's younger brother, also living with the Parekhs. He has a habit of repeating a sentence 3 times before finally speaking. His frequently used phrase is 'mujhe lagta hai ki..' |
