Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos's India TV review
Vir Das's Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos Spy is a two-hour ride that entertains in the first half, but the story becomes boring in the second half. This film is not suitable for children under 18 due to the frequent use of profanity and vulgar language. Vir Das, playing an Englishman, misinterprets the meaning of several Hindi words, which is hard to ignore. This film only deserves a 2 out of 5 rating and is something you can watch once with friends.
