Khichdi 2 Movie Review: Hilarious in parts but over the top, taking away from its charm – IndiaTimes
Story: The Parekhs are despatched on a covert operation to Paanthukistan to abduct the tyrannical king and free an Indian nuclear scientist held captive to assemble a weapon of mass destruction.
Evaluate: The loopy Parekh household returns with their shenanigans. This time, the TIA’s (Thodi Clever Company) agent, Kaushal (Anant Vidhaat) duties them with a secret operation to go to a fictional and joyless nation, Paanthukistan, and abduct its emperor who bears an uncanny resemblance to Praful Parekh (Rajeev Mehta). What follows is one thing you’d anticipate from director Aatish Kapadia’s widespread franchise — scatterbrained characters making a large number of the scenario. It’s not totally different this time, too.
The viewers is handled to all the weather which have made the tv and film sequence widespread — hilarious one-liners, Praful and his spouse Hansa’s (Supriya Pathak) insane interpretations of English phrases (unbiased is the British Queen asking for the Koh-i-noor to be encrusted in her crown and never ‘within the pendant!’), and Himanshu’s (JD Majethia) foolishness. The campy humour will attraction extra to these accustomed to the characters and who’ve some context of their insanity.
As a standalone movie, it’s rib-tickling due to its characters and their goofiness. Together with Praful, Hansa and Himanshu, the opposite comparatively extra wise members of the family Babuji (Anang Desai), and Jayshree (Vandana Pathak) provide relentless laughter. Nevertheless, as soon as the group reaches Paanthukistan, the narrative, conditions, and characters flip excessive; starting with the residents’ unimaginative names, akin to Gulkandadevi, Zarda, Tambaku, and so forth. Many sequences, individuals and their traits appear pointless and stuffed to intensify the comedy. Issues flip shakier post-interval and the comedy appears to wean, too. Though the story is outrageous to start with, the primary half could be seen as a great ol’ slapstick however the later half turns weird.
The actors are the film’s strongest side. The crew returns after 2010 on the massive display screen, however the performers don’t miss a beat of their comedian timing or interactions. Supriya Pathak is top-notch as at all times, together with Anang Desai, Vandana Pathak and JD Majethia. Rajeev Mehta handles the character of Praful’s doppelganger emperor properly. Kirti Kulhari has a restricted display screen time, and hers is likely one of the tracks that doesn’t take the story ahead however solely provides to the size. Kiku Sharda makes an look as a robotic who will destroy the world however the monitor is just too long-drawn and elicits only some laughs. Chirantan Bhatt’s music shouldn’t be the movie’s spotlight, and the songs break the narrative’s movement.
The filmmakers have tried to scale up the film, however the story and screenplay don’t help this effort. That being mentioned, the performances and the nonsensical capers will make you chortle continuously. Followers of the franchise could particularly take pleasure in this one.
