Khichdi: The Movie (खिचड़ी)

Since the Goddess had destroyed the demons Chan and Mun..

- She began to be called.. - Goddess Chamunda.

Nice. Very nice.

Very good story.

Anybody else wants to tell a story?

Or should we go for dinner? How much more time will it take?

Another twenty minutes.

Miss.. - Yes Jackie, Chakki

We have a story.

Okay Jackie, Chakki, begin your story.

Jackie, Chakki, is it a ghost story?

No, we are going to tell the story of the elders in our house.

Oh my God! That means a story about Hansa,..

...Praful, Babuji, Jayshree and Himanshu.

So, in a way it is a ghost story.

Once, when God came for distributing wisdom..

Some people weren't at home and so weren't blessed with wisdom.

But, when He came by our place..

The elders were indeed present..

But still"

grown-ups are grown-ups!

Jayshree..

' Yes!

Hey Jayshree..

Yes, Babuji..

Are you getting some tea for me or should I order from outside?

Oh God! Be patient.

Mr. Grumbles!

Jayshree - Coming.

Here is your tea.

Today you also get breakfast with your tea.. upma.

Why is that?

The maid called in sick. I had to give it to someone!

Even the beggar didn't show up!

Hello Jayshree here, I've got bad news.

The maid has not turned up today.

The utensils are dirty in the kitchen.

There is no one who can clean up, is there?

The kids are at school, studying!

They even stand first in class.

Jayshree!

I will call you later, Babuji is calling.

Jayshree!

Yes, he is still alive.

What is it?

Jayshree this breakfast tastes weird.

I was in a hurry and the dish slipped onto the floor.

So?

I told Praful that the breakfast is on the floor.

And I asked him to put it back into..

...the dish and mop the floor with phenyl.

But he mopped the floor with some phenyl..

And then, put the dish back into your plate.

How is it?

Horrible! Disgusting! This dish is unfit to eat.

I meant phenyl! How does the phenyl taste?

I stole a pack from the supermarket the other day.

Jayshree, phenyl is as good as poison. What if I die?

No, Babuji, not today.

The maid hasn't come in today and the kids have their exams.

But.. - Just hold on till the vacations. I'll help you myself.

Finally, the maid is here.

But.. - Here, hold this.

Just a minute, Vasanti.

Praful, save me..

Hey! Switch off the light.

Who are you?

I am God, the Lord of wisdom.

I'm here to bless you with wisdom.

I thought my maid had finally arrived.

There's some guy here, who says his name is God.

Move aside.

Hey.. listen to me.

I need to look for the maid.

Can you take me to Ghatkopar?

With pleasure. - Lord. Lord.

Bless you. - Bless me with goodness. Bless me with wisdom.

Charioteer, you won't find parking in Ghatkopar.

Please come in..

Hansa.. Praful.. please come in.

Please, have a seat.

Make yourself comfortable.

Hansa, Himanshu, Praful..

Where have all of you disappeared?

I'm here.

This is my eldest son, Praful.

I am Praful.

My name is Praful.

When people call out, 'Praful', I answer.

These lips answer.

That's enough.

Where is Hansa?

Babuji, allow me. I'll call out to her.

Hansa!

Hansa!

What is it Praful? What is?

My Hansa.. she is coming because I called her.

I'm so tired!

This is my daughter-in-law, Hansa.

Hello, how are? Eat something before you leave.

What is this? "Eat something before you leave?"'

Why don't you start by asking about water?

What time do you get water at your place?

I meant, water to drink.

Why just water?

What Babuji?!

Have some of this.

I've just prepared it.

It's delicious.

What is this made of?

You do know the baby-soft cheeks of women, don't you?

From milk-cream just as soft as the cheeks.

He is Hansa's brother?

Yes, Himanshu!

And I am God.

Oh, what is it that you do?

God, in whose honour temples are built.

Rajnikanth?

The legendary actor?

No, God, the Almighty.

I'm here to distribute wisdom.

Oh you mean, the Almighty?

You mean the God? The one up there?

Of course!

Why else would I be dressed up like this?

Not necessarily.

Perhaps you're participating in a fancy dress competition..

And you are competing as God.

We participate every year.

I was a teacher last year.

Now watch me.

Is she a teacher?

Then, why isn't she teaching?

Because right now she is at home.

A teacher teaches in school, not at home.

You don't expect her to say B for Biryani..

...D for Dhokla, G for Masala all day..

M for Masala.

I meant Garam Masala.

You pretended to be a teacher at home?

Did the audience get that?

Yes, and that's why we won first place.

First prize? What did you do?

Himanshu was dal.

Superb! He's dal.

You call this dal?

Yes, dal on the floor. And look at father.

He was the vessel.

But he is still on top.

Because only dal fell down, the vessel didn't.

Second prize...

Oh, can you..

Hold on, have a look at what Praful pretended to be.

Praful..

What is that?

Taj Mahal. I was the Taj Mahal

Just a second..

Come.

I got that you were a teacher, he was the dal and he the vessel.

But you?

You don't look like the Taj Mahal.

Praful became the Taj Mahal during the Mahabharat period.

But the Taj Mahal wasn't built then.

And that's precisely why I don't look like the Taj Mahal.

Please use your common sense.

And he said he is distributing wisdom!

Who designated you as God?

It is said that no one can obstruct God's work.

But when it comes to our family, God is also helpless.

Here's another story.

It's called 'A Pointless Love Story'.

The story begins on a dark night,..

...when the elders went to Chakku Singh's house.

Jayshree! Jayshree! Jayshree!

Babuji, what happened? Why are you yelling?

Look at this.

This is Chakku Singh. - Now what?

Oh, Babuji! Himanshu will be accused..

...of murder instead of robbery.

Life imprisonment, that's it.

Your Honour, the accused in the witness box..

May be acting like a fool, but he is a cold blooded killer.

He tried to kill Chakku Singh Ahluwalia with a knife and..

I shall prove this.

Himanshu was accused of murder?

Yet he was happy about it?

- But who is Chakku Singh? - He is the one..

Why are you revealing the climax?

It's okay. - Silence!

Just forget about Chakku Singh..

- The story begins with an inauspicious phone call.

Babuji, push it hard or else the movie will end here.

The movie in the theatre will begin.

You eat food enough for two people, don't you?

Mummy, mummy, phone!

Very good, Chakki..

Tell me, what is this? What is?

Hansa, what she meant is there is call for you.

Hello..

Jayshree.. Hold the phone, Jackie.
