Mona Singh: “The Dark, Quirky, Off-Beat Madness of Delhi Belly Is Back” is statement on Happy Patel

Mona Singh: With its dark humor, oddball characters, and unabashedly unconventional spirit, Delhi Belly defied convention and revolutionized mainstream Hindi film when it came out. Happy Patel, which promises to embody a similarly insane, irreverent world with a modern twist, is slated to bring the same disruptive attitude back to the big screen years later. Having worked in both mainstream and experimental storytelling, Mona Singh makes a clear comparison between the forthcoming movie and the cult classic. Speaking from personal experience, Mona emphasized how Happy Patel also embodies the spirit that made Delhi Belly famous.

Remembering Delhi’s responses “They were all giving one word for Delhi Belly,” Mona remarked after receiving the dish. “Wow, saare words Happy Patel ke liye apt hai, dark hai, quirky hai, off beat hai, sab kuch hai.” And I had a great time participating in this weird, insane environment. Her remarks highlight what viewers can anticipate from Happy Patel: a movie that embraces turmoil, unorthodox humor, and people who are on the edge. The film is a welcome break from formula-driven filmmaking since, like Delhi Belly, it relies on its bold tone and surprising narrative.

Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, which is produced by Aamir Khan Productions and directed by Vir Das, will be released in theaters on January 16, 2026. Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi, and Mithila Palkar play important parts in the movie.
