What the critics say

Critics call it a cuss-heavy spy spoof reuniting Delhi Belly's Vir Das, Aamir Khan and Imran Khan with a few funny set pieces, but say the humour and script are inconsistent.

Summary

Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos (2026, Hindi) has a Filmi Score of 49 from 11 critic reviews, is rated 18+ by Filmi (CBFC: A), and streams on Netflix in the US.

Chronically unsuccessful MI7 operative Happy Patel is finally assigned a mission in Goa, where he uncovers his Indian roots and must rescue a high-profile scientist from crime lord Mama. Unaware of his Indian heritage and armed with a comically British accent, Happy’s blunders trigger a string of chaotic mishaps that could lead him to expose a criminal network.

Derived by Filmi

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 11 readings; 7 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
