Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos First Review

As per a post shared by actor turned critic Kuldeep Gadhvi, Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos is a smart, entertaining and well crafted spy comedy that delivers laughs, thrills and heart. He gave the movie 4 stars and stated, "The movie is a 2 hour ride that never feels heavy, never feels dragged and most importantly never stops entertaining. First half is superbly paced, packed with laughs and clever setups while second half is straight up extraordinary - bigger stakes, sharper turns and satisfying payoffs. Vir Das is the soul of the film, his comic timing is razor sharp, Aamir Khan brings authority and restraint while Imran surprises pleasantly, complementing the chaos around him".

Meanwhile, talking about working with Aamir Khan on Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, debutant director Vir Das told The Print, "Aamir puts you through six kinds of re-writes where you focus on story and character. He makes you do a test shoot. So, he gives you money to go out and do 20 minutes of shooting, 5-6 scenes basically. Because he wants to see if you can direct".
