{{Hatnote|The plot of the film connects with the TV series on what it is based. For more information, see [[Khichdi (2002 TV series)|Khichdi]] and [[Instant Khichdi]].}}
Two kids, Jacky and Chacky, narrate the story of their family in a summer camp.

The god of knowledge visits the Parekh family, consisting of the elder Babuji, his eldest son Praful, Praful's wife Hansa, Hansa's brother Himanshu, Praful's little brother's widowed wife Jayshree, Hansa and Praful's daughter Chacky, and Jayshree's son Jacky. The Parekhs drive the god crazy and he runs back to heaven.

The Parekhs are informed that Hansa and Himanshu's father is on his deathbed. Before dying he states that his last wish is to fulfill Himanshu's dream. Himanshu reveals that his dream is to have a legendary marriage. But after getting rejected by hundreds of brides, he falls in love with their neighbour's daughter Parminder Kaur. The two get engaged. On the day of the wedding, Himanshu realises that his marriage is not legendary, as it lacks thrill and adventure. The Parekhs stall the wedding and try to turn the Parminders against Himanshu so the two get broken up and then have a legendary reunion.

The Parekhs decide to rob Parminder's close friend Chakku Singh's house, but they discover that Chakku has been murdered and the police arrest Himanshu as the suspect. Parminder's father breaks the marriage but it is revealed that Parminder is marrying another groom tomorrow. During the court hearing, it is revealed that Chakku is alive and confesses that he committed suicide and Himanshu is released.

The Parekhs rush to Parminder's wedding. Parminder's father sees the news and happily accepts Himanshu as his son-in-law.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/media/entertainment-/entertainment/Khichdi-The-Movie-Review/articleshow/6666127.cms |title=Khichdi The Movie: Review |author=Gaurav Malani |work=The Economic Times|date=October 1, 2010|access-date= July 13, 2021}}</ref>
