Khichdi 2 Movie Review: The Parekh family take us on an outrageous journey full of fun and craziness

Ushana Maji

New Delhi: Khichdi 2: Mission Paanthukhistan fetches the much-loved Parekh family back to the big screen, as filmmaker Aatish Kapadia spins another entertaining story of mistaken identities and humorous pandemonium. This sets the tone for a rollercoaster of hilarity and touching moments.

Plot

Khichdi 2 is there for Rajeev Mehta’s incredible metamorphosis into an emperor, replete with a magnificent beard, a moustache, and royal clothing. The Parekh family comes together for a mission that is of vital significance on a worldwide scale, and this mission will take you on a rollercoaster trip across a variety of environments, including snow-covered mountains, hot deserts, and strange caverns.

The family concludes that the King of Paanthukistan looks quite similar to Praful. They decide to take advantage of the situation to bring about change in the village while also looking out for themselves. Praful assumes the role of king and alters his looks to fit the role.

Hansa Praful Parekh, played by Supriya Pathak Kapur, is back, and she brings all the wit and charm you’ve come to expect from this character. Praful Tulsidas Parekh, played by Rajeev Mehta, displays the actor’s versatility by allowing him to play both Praful and the King. A wonderful balance of humour and family warmth is achieved by the contributions of Anang Desai as Babuji, Vandana Pathak as Jayshree, and Jamnadas Majethia as Himanshu.

Review

The film stars Farah Khan, Kirti Kulhari, Pratik Gandhi, Paresh Ganatra, Flora Saini, and many others and one of their strengths is that they easily integrate new characters. Their contributions breathe new life into the story, raising the level of amusement significantly.

Aatish Kapadia’s directorial is characteristic of the Khichdi films in that it has witty dialogue and excellent comedic timing. The script deftly switches gears between the disarray in the Parekh home and the hilarity in Paanthukistan. The film manages to please both longtime viewers of the series and first-time viewers with its mix of slapstick humour and touching moments.

Khichdi 2 has impressive production standards, with colourful cinematography that successfully conveys the spirit of Paanthukistan and the eccentric lifestyle of the Parekh family. The clothing design, which adds another element of humour to the passages in which Praful disguises himself as the King, merits particular recognition.

The score does a great job of accentuating the film’s humorous and emotional high points. The music in the background does a great job of highlighting the varied atmospheres.

The fans and viewers may find that, although the film succeeds in conveying laughter and memories, it also seems rather conventional. Even if they’re funny, some of the gags may become old after a while for die-hard fans.

However, the film’s success in keeping viewers interested throughout its duration is indicative of its entertaining quality.
