Das ka Dum, hosted by Salman Khan, is going to be back nearly after a decade.
The year 2018 will be remembered as the year of comebacks for Hindi television. While reality television shows, like Bigg Boss, MTV Roadies, and Spiltsvilla, which caught the fancy of the Indian audience, have become a yearly affair with seasons coming up every year, there are some fictional shows which the audience wish were back. Some such serials are expected to be back in 2018, apart from some others, which may not be that coveted.
Khichdi (2002)
The popular sitcom debuted in 2002. The storyline was simple: There was a kind-of weird Gujarati joint family known as the Parekhs. The series hilariously depicted how they faced various situations. Yes, from the very beginning it adopted the form of a series; the second season being called Instant Khichdi (2005). The serial was adopted into a movie Khichdi: The Movie (2010). According to reports, the third season will repeat the original cast.
Das Ka Dum
Nearly after a decade, actor Salman Khan is coming back with the third season of Das ka Dum, a show modelled after international reality game show Power of 10. The first season was released in 2008. The next season came in 2009. The format of the show is that of a quiz game, only a little intricate. The new season is expected to go on air in the month of June or July this year.
Kapil Sharma's comeback
It's not like comedian Kapil Sharma has been missing from action for a long time. But just the ruckus he created spilling his personal fight over his professional relationships makes news about his anticipated comeback interesting. For his fans, the wait, however, is over. After Comedy Nights with Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show, he is coming back with Family Time with Kapil Sharma. However, Sunil Grover whom Kapil Sharma had slapped on a flight will not be part of the show.
Kasautii Zindagi Kay (2001)
It was a mushy love story between Anurag and Prernam who remained separated in life owing to various circumstances and conspiracies. The seven-year-long serial ended showing the afterlife union of the duo. Recently, Ekta Kapoor has expressed her wish to remake the love story.
With a piece of my broken heart I wrote in 2001,17 years later I Reboot it dipping in personal pain & lacing it with experiences of an older me! Bringing back my most successful love saga that ran for 9 yrs! Again I’ll take my broken heart & make it into art! #NamesToBeAnnouncedpic.twitter.com/CbWdgEOO8h
— Ekta Kapoor (@ektaravikapoor) February 16, 2018Naagin 3 without Mouni Roy
The supernatural thriller topped the TRP chart during its two previous seasons. The second season ended last year triggering speculations about whether it would be back anytime soon. The third season has already been announced with a major replacement in the lead character. Instead of Mouni Roy and Adaa Khan, who were there in the first two seasons, the third season will have Surbhi Jyoti and Anita Hassanandani.

Television series[edit]
Khichdi (2002–2004)[edit]
Khichdi 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 atypical fashion imaginable. This is a funny bunch of people that is firmly united in their movement to get separated. 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. So they stay together and wait for the 'head' to change his mind or stop breathing, whichever happens first. And this is where the upwardly mobile middle class joint family faces its trials and tribulations. Khichdi is a look at the lighter side of an Indian joint family.
Instant Khichdi (2005–2006)[edit]
The series portrays the life of an eccentric Gujarati joint family living in Bombay. The family is led by the elderly Tulsidas Parekh and consists of his offspring, who he acquired at a local carnival. The first season, particularly the initial episodes, focus on the idiosyncratic members of the family who are only united by their desire to separate from each other. Since the patriarch does not permit them to sell off their house and separate into nuclear families, they live on hoping that he changes his mind or passes away. Eventually, they move into a much larger house left behind by a deceased aunt.
-They become overnight millionaires when they discover oil in their older property. The second season portrays humorous depictions of a bourgeois family that is trying to settle itself into higher society with their new-found wealth. They live on in their own eccentric way, trying to ace the lives of the super-rich.
The first season portrayed the trials and tribulations of a joint family and often touched an emotional cord. Later on, particularly in the second season the show started focusing more on the situational comedy, as the characters started fitting themselves into their eccentricities. Several new characters were added during the course of the show. It is largely episodic with most plots running for one or two episodes. At times it runs into subplots that last a few episodes such as the marriages of Miraben, Raju, and Himanshu. Rarely, episodes run into flashback such as the marriage of Praful and Hansa.
Khichdi (2018)[edit]
A new continuation series premiered on Star Plus from April 14, 2018.
The Parekhs gets stuck after the builder escapes in between the construction of their apartment and some people threaten them to kill until they do not return the money taken in exchange of apartments.[3]
Film[edit]
Khichdi: The Movie (2010)[edit]
A film based on the series, titled Khichdi: The Movie, was released on 1 October 2010 and starred the same principal cast. It became the first Indian television series to be adapted into a film.[4] The film faced stiff competition from big-budget movies like Priyanka Chopra - Ranbir Kapoor starrer Anjaana Anjaani and dubbed Hindi version of Aishwarya Rai - Rajinikanth starrer Enthiran (Robot) and in the end its performance at the box office was termed below average.[5]
Future[edit]
After Khichdi: The Movie, makers are planning a sequel to the movie.[6][7][8]
