HAPPY PATEL: Khatarnak Jasoos- A Pathetic, Boring Film

HAPPY PATEL 2026

Vir Das and Kavi Shastri




It is not a near miss. It does not fail for want of trying. It is a glorious bore which you must avoid at all costs. I somehow plodded through forty minutes without laughing even once in that long stretch. Right from the first shot in which Aamir Khan makes an entry as a Goanese Don, nothing feels funny in this supposed comedy drama. Vir Das is just not into it. Rest of the cast just floats around flapping their wings too hard. That is the problem with this film- it takes itself too seriously. Everyone is a quirky character who must crack a sad PJ to elicit a laugh. Jokes resulting from improper and literal translations do not amuse. This is all so tiring! Can't bear it anymore, saheb. I bowed out in time to avoid Imran Khan's return. Mithila Palkar, Mona Singh and Shareeb Hashmi are also pedestrian.
