'Khichdi' to come on big screen
Yes, its official the popular TV show 'Khichadi' will be made into a film.
The promotion of this amusing small tube comedy to the big screen is first of its kind in Indian entertainment history.
Fox Star Studios that brought 'Slumdog Millionaire' and 'My Name Is Khan' to audiences in India is presenting the feature film which takes off from the popular sitcom Khichdi.
Bringing Hollywood practices to India where popular and successful television shows like Mr Bean, Batman, Simpson's, Mission Impossible,� Star Wars and Sex and the City get made into films regularly, this would be the first time in India that a series will migrate onto the cinema platform. Given the challenge that Bollywood has to create new content � this could be a start of a new trend!
The film titled 'Khichdi � The Movie' produced by Hats Off Productions, written and directed by Aatish Kapadia is an all out fun and crazy ride and is best described as "Comedy Family Ki Family Comedy".
The film is freshly written and retains the humor and the eccentricities of the much loved characters that have made close to 50 million people laugh over the last 7 years whilst taking an updated view of today's times.
The unique flavor of the comedy and the characters made the series very popular among television audiences. In a recent research conducted in July 2010 � the characters of Hansa, Praful, Babuji, Himanshu and Jayshree have rated very high on recall and like ability amongst audiences.
Vijay Singh, CEO Fox Star Studios India said, "We are very excited about the research feedback from the audiences that have seen Khichdi � The Movie. Audiences loved the 'saaf suthri comedy' and found it to be funnier than most recent comedy films. Audiences are looking for new experiences and lets face it, there are very few good clean comedy films that audiences can go and watch with the entire family ….that's the promise of Khichdi-the Movie!"
"Producer of the film Jamnadas Majethia (JD) of Hats Off Productions, came to us with his vision of taking the humor of the television characters to the big screen. Hats Off Production has an amazing track record and understand the comedy genre and were best placed to deliver a great comedy film for the entire family," added Vijay Singh.
"The TV serial changed the grammar of comedy when it came on television and viewers got addicted to the humor. They were enjoying watching it again and again and we are sure that Khichdi � the Movie will create the same magic on the big screen and hopefully redefine comedy in Indian cinema." said JD Majethia.
In its new avatar � Khichdi, the Movie goes on a roller coaster ride where the ridiculous tasks that the Parekh family attempts to fulfill takes them through a tsunami of hilarious situations. "Khichdi is and shall always remain closest to my heart as it is the first show produced by Hats Off Productions and thanks to JD's insistence, I directed my own idea for the first time and Khichdi achieved cult status as it created a new genre of humor. Khichdi the Movie will now take the madness at least 10 notches ahead. Watch out for this fun and craziness coming soon to a cinema Hall near you," says writer- director Aatish Kapadia.
