Khichdi (franchise)

[4] In 2010, the franchise was rebooted and adapted into a full-length feature film titled Khichdi: The Movie, with most of the main cast reprising their roles from the television series.

[5] 8 years later, the franchise returned with a third season (another soft reboot with the same main cast[6]) as a prime-time weekend show on Star Plus and then on streaming platform Hotstar.

After establishing their company "Hats Off Productions" to produce plays, Jamnadas Majethia and Aatish Kapadia engaged in various projects, including their collaborations for serials like Ek Mahal Ho Sapno Ka with Vipul Shah and Babul Ki Duwayen Leti Jaa with Shobhana Desai.

[11] Aiming to fill this gap, they approached Star Plus with their proposal for a new show, inspired by the storyline of their first Gujarati Play from Hats Off Productions which was titled Ladakvaya, that led to the creation of Khichdi.

In the sequel, the Parekhs are sent on a covert operation to a country called "Paanthukistan" to abduct the tyrannical king and free an Indian nuclear scientist held captive to construct a weapon of mass destruction.

[6] The 2010 film initially performed below expectations at the Box Office and was declared "Below Average" but it ultimately recovered its costs and yielded decent profits.
