Happy Patel Box Office Collection Day 2 Report: The Hindi spy-comedy Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos showed mild improvement at the Indian box office on its second day. Headlined by stand-up comic and actor Vir Das, the film witnessed a small Saturday boost, though overall footfalls remained on the lower side due to stiff competition and limited mass appeal.
On Day 2 (Saturday, January 17, 2026), the film collected an estimated ₹1.50 crore nett in India, registering around 20% growth compared to its opening day figure of ₹1.25 crore. With this, the two-day total stands at ₹2.75 crore nett, placing the film in a modest position ahead of the crucial Sunday test.

The overall Hindi occupancy on Day 2 averaged 12.73%, indicating a subdued nationwide turnout. However, urban centres and multiplex-heavy circuits performed relatively better, especially during evening and night shows.
Show-wise Occupancy (Hindi – Day 2):
- Morning: 8.72%
- Afternoon: 12.42%
- Evening: 12.39%

Cities like Mumbai and Pune led the charge, benefitting from the film’s urban humour and Vir Das’ popularity among metro audiences.

| Total (2 Days) | 2.75 | — |
The presence of rival releases such as Rahu Ketu, which earned around ₹1.60 crore on Day 2, has affected Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, particularly in multiplex screens. Trade analysts believe that Sunday word-of-mouth will be crucial in determining whether the film can reach a ₹3 crore-plus weekend total.
While Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos has managed a slight upward trend on Saturday, its long-term prospects hinge on stronger audience buzz. If urban centres continue to support it and Sunday shows improve, the film may still stabilize; otherwise, its run could remain short and niche-driven.
