After a long wait of 13 years, the lovable goofballs — Praful, Hansa, Jayshree, Babuji, and Himanshu — return with a new adventure, Khichadi 2: Mission Paanthukistan. In an interview, director Aatish Kapadia spoke about the film, "It was more of a responsibility than a challenge as people liked Khichdi 1 so much and people like Khichdi as a franchise so much that going above that is our responsibility...

In SRK's words, "It is a story of people who want to return home when you finally get the calling. The film goes through different areas around the world and finally comes back home to India." So, mark your calendars because Hirani's storytelling finesse coupled with Khan's unmatched charm is a combination that simply can't be missed.
