The story follows Happy Patel (Vir Das), a non-traditional Indian secret agent with a British upbringing. When he is sent to Goa on a mission, his overly enthusiastic and eccentric personality leads to a series of disorderly and comedic situations that subvert the typical action hero tropes. The film made its theatrical debut on January 16, 2026. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie earned INR 7.36 crore at the box office. While theatrical reception was divided, the upcoming OTT release is expected to find a dedicated audience among fans of Das’ signature brand of observational and irreverent humour.
