Comedian Vir Das made his directorial debut with Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. Released on January 16, the satirical comedy, which also features an appearance by superstar Aamir Khan, garnered a mixed response from audiences. Notably, the film was backed by Khan’s production house.

After two months, the movie is set to arrive on OTT, so those who didn’t spend money watching it in theatres can now enjoy Das’s version of a spy from the comfort of their homes.

However, he is eventually recruited by MI7 and sent to Goa to find a missing British scientist. His adventures in Goa form the rest of the plot.

Happy Patel review

WION's Shomini Sen called the spy parody, 'a messy fever dream'

''The film has a lot of Vir Das. While the comedian’s act on stage has been well-received across the world, he is not the right choice to play a leading man in a comedy film. His British-accented Hindi sounds annoying after a point, even though he keeps it consistent, unlike the comedy. Das grimaces and shrugs through the two-hour-long comedy and shines mostly in the first half. His aide, Sharib Hashmi, has a more natural flair with his comic timing on screen, but gets limited scope to shine,'' Sen writes. Read the full review here.
