After Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai and Shriman Shrimati Phirse, the cult comedy show Khichdi is making a comeback on the small screen. The TV show aired in 2002 and was one of the most viewed comedy shows on television. The one-hour episodes will start airing on 14 April, every Saturday and Sunday at 9 PM, confirmed JD Majethia, writer, producer and one of the actors of the show.

And here’s the video to prove it:

After enthralling the audience with some of their most memorable dialogues like Hansa’s “How are? Khanna khakar Jana”, Babuji’s “Praful tu toh gadha hai gadha” and Praful’s amusing explanations to Hansa’s queries will be back on our screens with Khichdi Returns.

What made Khichdi one of the most memorable series was the cast and this time as well the makers have on board Anang Desai (Babuji), Supriya Pathak (Hansa), Vandana Pathak (Jayshree Parekh), Rajeev Mehta (Praful Parekh), JD Majethia (Himanshu Seth). The makers promise to bring out a power packed and funnier season this time. Along with this there will be cameos to keep the interest of the viewers by some promising

And guess what? Actors like Ratna Pathak Shah, Renuka Shahane and Deepshika Nagpal will be enhancing the entertainment quotient of the show.

Though the second season of Khichdi couldn’t spread its craze like the first one, this time the makers are hopeful of putting up a better show. According to DNA, the show will clash with IPL, while makers avoid launching anything during that time, JD Majethia says he made a conscious decision of launching the show during the IPL season.

“I believe that IPL will bring in a new audience for my show. Cricket and comedy can co-exist. Whenever there is a break in the match or it gets boring, people like to tune in to comedy shows. I know usually there is a drop of 10-15 per cent during IPL, but since we are on the same network that will telecast the matches, it will work for us.”
