Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos
“India is for beginners.”
Chronically unsuccessful MI7 operative Happy Patel is finally assigned a mission in Goa, where he uncovers his Indian roots and must rescue a high-profile scientist from crime lord Mama. Unaware of his Indian heritage and armed with a comically British accent, Happy’s blunders trigger a string of chaotic mishaps that could lead him to expose a criminal network.
