Casting[edit | edit source]

Furthermore, Farah Khan,^[12] Anant Vidhaat, Pratik Gandhi,^[13] Paresh Ganatra, Kiku Sharda, and Flora Saini will make special appearances in the film.^[14]

Filming[edit | edit source]

The film was released on 17 November 2023.^[15]

Home media[edit | edit source]

The film premiered on ZEE5 from 9 February 2024.^[16]

Critical response[edit | edit source]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 1 out of 5, writing, "Why did this ultra-loud, blindingly colour-coordinated bunch who did nothing of any consequence in the first movie, bother to circle back for a sequel?"^[17]

Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com gave the film 2 out of 5, calling the production values as "shoddy" and the plot "incoherent."^[7] Agnivo Niyogi of The Telegraph India criticised the screenplay and "focus on several subplots", writing, "Khichdi 2: Mission Paanthukistan struggles to create the kind of comedic moments that were the hallmark of the original TV serial."^[4]

A critic from Bollywood Hungama rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Khichdi 2 suffers from a weak second half and an unimaginative script."^[18]
