The slice-of-life film is laden with tongue-in-cheek humour and revolves around members of a dysfunctional family and how they react in the face of an impending tragedy. The film has an ensemble cast including some of the popular names in comedy such as

Speaking about the film, actor-turned-director Harsh Chhaya says, "Khajoor Pe Atke is inspired by my own experiences with people around me – family, friends, neighbours and life in general. It is born out of incidences from within my family. In a way, one can say it is autobiographical and everyone can relate to it, as every Indian family has experienced such hilarity during an emotional crisis."
