Comedian Vir Das shares hilarious reaction as his film 'Happy Patel' gets an A certificate from the CBFC. The spy comedy stars Mona Singh and features Aamir Khan.

"Not a good student, only A I've EVER received. - Vir Das"

Mumbai, January 14

Comedian and actor Vir Das starrer 'Happy Patel' has received an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. Vir Das shared his hilarious take on the 'Adult' certification of the film.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Vir Das shared the certificate of the film, jokingly calling it the first "A" he "ever received" in his life.

"Not a good student, only A I've EVER received," wrote Vir Das on his Instagram handle. The certification details also revealed that the film is nearly two-hour long film, which required just five cuts before getting the approval from CBFC.

The film is produced by Aamir Khan under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions.

'Happy Patel: Khatarnaak Jasoos' is a quirky, offbeat spy, which also stars Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi and Srushti Tawade, along with special appearances by Aamir Khan and Imran Khan.

Vir Das will play the lead in the upcoming film 'Happy Patel', as an agent sent on a mission in India.

The trailer for this comedy film opens with Vir Das assembling a rifle but forgetting to include the trigger, highlighting one of the reasons he failed the MI7 exam seven times.

It was followed by a confidential mission assignment in Goa. Unknown to the culture and traditions of India, Vir Das faces numerous problems, ranging from being tortured by Mona Singh's character to fighting Imran Khan in a slow-motion aerial battle.

Aamir Khan is also set to play a cameo in the movie. He was seen chasing people with a car and firing a gun.

The movie is slated to release on January 16, 2026, in theatres. The film is jointly directed by Vir Das and Kavi Shastri.

Aamir Khan Productions has previously backed critically acclaimed films, including 'Lagaan', 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Dangal', and 'Secret Superstar'.

Only 5 cuts for an 'A' certificate is actually pretty good going for the CBFC these days. Sometimes they make directors chop half the film. Glad Vir Das and team got their vision through mostly intact. The combo of Vir's humor and Aamir's production quality should be fun.

Not sure about this. The concept of a foreign agent "unknown to the culture and traditions of India" facing problems feels a bit overdone. Hope the comedy doesn't just rely on stereotypes about India being chaotic and confusing for outsiders. Aamir Khan's cameo chasing people with a car looks like pure masala though!

Excited to see Mona Singh back in a comedic role! She was brilliant in *Jhansi Ki Rani* and *3 Idiots*. Her torturing Vir Das's character sounds like a fun dynamic. The whole cast looks solid. January 2026 is so far away, yaar!

Interesting to see Vir Das co-directing. He's a sharp writer and performer, so curious how that translates to the director's chair. The spy comedy genre needs fresh takes. Hope this delivers the laughs without being too cringe.

Aamir Khan Productions has a stellar track record. From *Lagaan* to *Dangal*, they rarely miss. Even if this is a pure comedy, the backing gives me confidence. The 'A' certificate just means some adult humor, which Vir Das is known for anyway. Will watch with friends.
