Happy Patel Box Office Collection Day 8: The new Hindi movie Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos has turned into a huge failure at the box office. The film started in theaters on January 16, 2026, but people are just not going to watch it.
Very Poor First Week Collections
The movie earned only ₹1.25 crore on its first day, which was a Friday. Things got a little better over the weekend when it made ₹1.60 crore on Saturday and ₹1.50 crore on Sunday. But from Monday, everything went downhill very fast.
On Monday, the collections dropped badly to just ₹0.45 crore. This is what people in the film industry call the “Monday crash”. After that, the numbers kept falling every single day. Tuesday saw ₹0.35 crore, Wednesday brought in only ₹0.20 crore, and by Thursday, the movie could barely earn ₹0.17 crore.
Happy Patel Box Office Collection Day 8

|---|---|---|
| Day 1 (Friday) | Jan 16 | ₹1.25 Crore |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | Jan 17 | ₹1.60 Crore |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | Jan 18 | ₹1.50 Crore |

| Day 5 (Tuesday) | Jan 20 | ₹0.35 Crore |
| Day 6 (Wednesday) | Jan 21 | ₹0.20 Crore |
| Day 7 (Thursday) | Jan 22 | ₹0.17 Crore |

Border 2 Release Ends All Hope
Things got even worse for Happy Patel when the big movie Border 2 released on January 23. Most cinema halls removed Happy Patel from their screens to show Border 2 instead. On Day 8, the film could only make around ₹0.10 crore, which is extremely low.
The number of people watching the movie in theaters was very poor throughout the week, with only 5-7% seats being filled on average.
Big Loss for Film Makers
The movie was made with a budget of around ₹25 crore. So far, it has only earned back about 22-28% of what was spent on making it. Film trade experts say the movie will likely end its theater run with total earnings below ₹6 crore.
This makes Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos one of the biggest box office disasters of 2026. The film failed to connect with audiences and is now being removed from most theaters across the country.
