For the first time ever, in Indian television space, a popular TV series is inspiring a film, backed by an international studio. 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, Simpsons, 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 on to the cinema platform.
The film titled Khichdi – The Movie, produced by Hats Off Productions and 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 humour and the eccentricities of the much loved characters that have made close to 50 million people laugh over the last seven years whilst taking an updated view of today's times.
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 let’s 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 says, “The serial changed the grammar of comedy when it came on television and viewers got addicted to the humour. They were enjoying watching it again and again, and we are sure that the movie will create the same magic on the big screen and hopefully redefine comedy in Indian cinema.”
Watch Khichdi – The Movie on October 1.
