MUMBAI: Another weekly serial launches on 10 September in the 8 pm slot on Star Plus.

Khichdi is a concoction of characters and their emotions, idiosyncrasies, likes, dislikes, relationships and dreams, all done to imperfect perfection in a melting pot, which happens to be their home, says an official release from Star. The weekly comedy is about an upper middle class family, which is still way behind modernisation.

Directed by Aatish Kapadia, the story revolves around Mohan Niwas, a bungalow that houses a host of characters, ranging from an adventurous greatgrandmother, (Dina Pathak), an ensemble of devilishly funny women, (Supriya Pathak, as Hansa the eledest daughter-in-law and Vandana Pathak as the widowed Jayshree), and their spouses. Anang Desai and Rajeev Mehta complete the cast of the serial, produced by UTV & Hats off Productions.

The Parekhs, says the release, are the ideal example of a Hindu undivided joint family, as they go about creating a mishmash of situations to spice up their life.
