Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos Story
Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos follows Happy Patel, a clumsy yet wildly enthusiastic would-be spy who dreams of matching the legacy of his parents—two celebrated British secret agents. Determined to prove himself, Happy joins MI7, but repeated blunders see him fail the training programme.
Refusing to give up on him entirely, the agency assigns Happy a seemingly low-stakes mission in Goa: rescue a white woman being held inside a bizarre fairness-cream manufacturing factory. What begins as a routine operation quickly spirals into chaos, pulling Happy into a web of crime, conspiracies, and personal reckonings.
As he navigates danger with accidental heroics, Happy is forced to confront his insecurities, embrace his Indian roots, and discover what it truly means to be a spy—often succeeding in spite of himself. The film blends slapstick humour with spy-thriller tropes, leaning into absurd situations, emotional growth, and offbeat action.
