The new espionage comedy Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos has revealed a new song titled Chaanta Tera. Vir Das and Mithila Palkar, who play the leads, sing a whimsical duet that reflects the film's quirky vibe.
What is Chaanta Tera song all about?
By eschewing heavy emotional declarations in favour of a humorous, banter-filled vibe, Chaanta Tera breaks away from the typical Bollywood romance numbers. A riot of colour and quirky props—flowers, fountains, and fruit baskets full of fruit—serve as the background for the music video. The song's narrative and dance are built around the title, "Your Slap", and they portray a relationship characterised by subtle closeness and clever banter.
One of the video's best parts is seeing how good Das and Palkar's chemistry is. Their banter is spot-on, and the way they interact with one another captures the ebb and flow of their characters' emotions. With their respective enthusiastic and laid-back singing styles, IP Singh and Nupoor Khedkar crooned the song.
What is the premise of Happy Patel?
Directed by Das with Kavi Shastri, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos is the former’s directorial debut. Played by Das, the film recounts the exploits of Happy Patel, a clumsy amateur spy who has allegedly failed to get entry to MI7 no less than seven times. On a clandestine mission to Goa, Happy has a hard time fitting in with his extremely Anglicised accent and ignorance of the local culture, which causes a lot of funny and chaotic situations.
The film's ensemble cast is largely responsible for the positive reception it has received. Sharib Hashmi and Srushti Tawade star alongside Mona Singh, a notorious kingpin, in this film. The film is notable because it finally brings Imran Khan back to the big screen after he had a 10-year break. Also, the Delhi Belly trio will be back together after more than a decade, thanks to producer Aamir Khan's bizarre cameo as "Jimmy".
When is the release date of Happy Patel?
Written by Das and Amogh Ranadive, the satirical Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos is set to be a welcome addition to the 2026 film calendar with its strong ratio of comedy and spy genres.
On January 16, 2026, the film will debut exclusively in theatres.
