The long-awaited trailer of Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos is finally here, and it looks like it’s going to be a laugh riot filled with chaos, weird humor, and wacky characters. From the very first frame, it’s clear what this trailer wants to convey—it’s going to be an entertainer. It’s being directed and acted by Vir Das, along with Mona Singh and Mithila Palkar, and is set to hit theaters on January 16, 2026.
The high humor quotient and the pace with which the trailer takes the viewer on a journey are enough to explain the kind of world the film is about to unleash. The role requires just the right kind of dosage of humor that Das has perfected over the years, taking on the role with multiple hats on, one for the role of the director, and the other for the actor. The role he plays, Happy Patel—a spy who is nothing less than imperfect—turns the spy genre on its head.
In the trailer, Vir Das is seen in a completely new and unseen avatar as an undercover agent who gets into trouble repeatedly. The situation comedy blended with clever dialogues gives the impression that it’s going to be an absolute fun-filled experience. Mona Singh has a dramatic role that gives a complete departure from what she has portrayed on the screen so far, whereas Mithila Palkar brings an energetic and youthful appeal.
However, what adds to the thrill is the appearance of Aamir Khan in an entirely new form, which shakes up the story with an added dose of adrenaline. “The Romantics” trailer exudes much energy, punchy dialogue, and comedic timing that suggests that the movie could deal with both slapstick comedy and clever storytelling.
