Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos box office collection day 1: Vir Das’ debut directorial opens with Rs 1.25 cr, overshadowed by Dhurandhar | Bollywood News

Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos box office collection day 1: With Dhurandhar continuing its strong run at the box office, films releasing after it have had little to no breathing room to succeed theatrically. Vir Das’ latest film Happy Patel appears to have met a similar fate. Despite the buzz surrounding the actor-comedian’s directorial debut, the film opened to a disappointing Rs 1.25 crore, according to industry tracker Sanilk. Produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Happy Patel was allotted 1,689 shows across India but managed an occupancy of just 9.57%. It released alongside Rahu Ketu, starring Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, which had a slightly wider release with 1,764 shows. However, even the popular Fukrey duo failed to draw audiences, with the film underperforming at the box office and collecting only Rs 1 crore on its opening day. Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues to dominate the box office even in its seventh week. The Aditya Dhar directorial, now running for 43 days, earned Rs 1.65 crore (India net), outperforming the new releases with ease. Notably, Happy Patel …

On the eve of the film’s release, Vir spoke to HT about donning the director’s hat, why he chose to make a spy comedy, and reuniting with Aamir Khan and Imran Khan. Excerpts: HT: Over the years, you have donned many hats, from comedian to writer, and actor. How did director happen? Vir Das: Co-director, to clarify. Kavi Shastri and I make everything together. For the longest time, this script lived in our heads. Being a director is the closest thing to being a stand-up comic you can imagine. As a stand-up, you control the lighting, the vibe, every word of content, and the performance. As an actor, you have to submit to someone else’s vision. Being a director is the closest experience to …
