Get Ready to Enjoy “Khichdi 2” This Diwali

Mumbai: This Diwali “Khichdi 2” laugh riot will add to the colours of Diwali celebrations. The makers of the sequel announced that ‘Khichdi2-Mission Paanthukistan’ will be released in cinema halls this Diwali.

The film’s teaser was released on Friday, in which director-choreographer Farah Khan is seen in a special role. There’s even a typical Hansa joke, with Himanshu explaining NRI as MRI.

Set against the backdrop of Diwali, the movie “seamlessly weaves themes of unity, humanity, forgiveness, and the enduring power of family bonds,” read a statement of the makers.

“Khichdi2-Mission Paanthukistan” is written and directed by Aatish Kapadia. It will take the audience to the hilarious new dimensions of the Parekh family’s dynamics.

Film pundit Taran Adarsh tweeted, “Born as a stage play, #Khichdi is the only #Indian sitcom to have evolved as a movie, webseries and will now have an adventure-comedy sequel.”
