When Delhi Belly released, it stood apart from mainstream Hindi cinema with its dark humour, unconventional characters, and unapologetically off-beat tone. Over time, the film grew into a cult favourite, remembered for its irreverent storytelling and willingness to break cinematic norms. Years later, that same disruptive energy is set to return to theatres with Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, a film that promises a similarly eccentric universe, reimagined for a contemporary audience.
Mona Singh compares Happy Patel to the spirit of Delhi Belly: “Dark, quirky, and off-beat”
Actor Mona Singh, who has navigated both commercial and experimental spaces in her career, sees a clear connection between the two films. Reflecting on her experience with Happy Patel, Singh drew parallels to the kind of reactions Delhi Belly once evoked when it first released.
“They were all giving one words for Delhi Belly, woh saare words Happy Patel ke liye apt hai — dark hai, quirky hai, off beat hai, sab kuchh hai. And I so enjoyed being a part of this mad, crazy universe,” she shared.
Her remarks point to what audiences can expect from Happy Patel: a film that embraces chaos, unconventional humour, and storytelling that does not conform to familiar formulas. Much like Delhi Belly, the film appears comfortable operating on the fringes, relying on its unpredictable narrative and distinctive tone rather than conventional structure.
Produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos is directed by Vir Das and features Mona Singh alongside Sharib Hashmi and Mithila Palkar in pivotal roles. With its mix of seasoned performers and a creative team known for pushing boundaries, the film aims to deliver a distinctive cinematic experience rooted in irreverence and originality.
Slated for a theatrical release on January 16, 2026, Happy Patel arrives with the promise of reviving a kind of storytelling that thrives on being different—inviting audiences into a darkly comic, quirky universe that embraces the unconventional.
