He is always in a bad mood but is known to have a good heart. Khichdi is a look at the lighter side of an Indian joint family. And this is where the upwardly mobile middle class joint family faces its trials and tribulations. So they stay together and wait for the 'head' to change his mind or stop breathing, whichever happens first. 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. But the head of their family does not agree. They want to sell their ancestral property and move out and form their own nuclear families. This is a funny bunch of people that is firmly united in their movement to get separated. The joint family encounters many typically Indian situations, but they try to solve it in the most atypical fashion imaginable. Khichdi follows the story of a Gujarati family called Parekhs, who live in an old mansion. The reruns have aired on several channels including STAR Utsav and Pogo. The well etched out characters have become almost icons of Indian television, which is otherwise obsessed with family soaps. It does not use a laugh track like many Indian comedy shows, but instead relies on its deadpan humour (à la The Simpsons) and its witty lines to become its unique selling point. Khichdi is widely considered by audiences and television critics to be one of the finest examples of true situation comedy in India. The second season was called Instant Khichdi, which made its debut on STAR Plus's sister channel, STAR One. Unlike other Hindi sitcoms, which continuously air throughout the year, Khichdi is one of the earliest shows on Indian television to adopt the Western model of appearing in seasons. The series has been rerun on STAR Plus and its sister channels several times. Khichdi is a Hindi language sitcom produced by UTV Software Communications, which debuted on STAR Plus on 10 September 2002.
