It is set against the backdrop of Diwali, and touches upon the themes of unity, humanity, forgiveness, and the power of family bonds.
'Khichdi', which first came into existence as a stage play, follows the story of a Gujarati family called Parekhs, who live in an old mansion. The joint family encounters many typically Indian situations, but they try to solve it in the most unconventional ways. They want to sell their ancestral property and move out and form their own nuclear families.
But the head of their family does not agree. He gives them the choice to walk out and survive on their own, but nobody is ready to let go of the money that is due to them.
