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.

- 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.

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.
