Vir Das' 'Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos' Released to Mixed Reviews and Celebrity Praise

Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, directed by and starring Vir Das in his directorial debut, is a quirky spy comedy produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film follows Happy Patel, a bumbling British-Indian spy on a mission in India, blending absurd humor with satire on cultural stereotypes. While many celebrities and audiences praise its humor and fresh take on the spy genre, some critics find the comedy uneven and the narrative scattershot. Imran Khan marks his acting comeback, and Aamir Khan appears in a cameo. The film released on January 16, 2026.
