2026 began on a serious and patriotic note with Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan. The mood now shifts sharply toward comedy. This weekend brings three films that promise loud laughs and chaotic fun on the big screen.
The first release is the Goa-based comic adventure Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos. The film is backed by Aamir Khan’s production house and directed by Vir Das. It marks Imran Khan’s return to the big screen after a long gap.
Vir Das also leads the film as a foreign-returned spy who dreams of opening a restaurant. His humour and Aamir Khan’s backing have created strong buzz. Trade watchers are keen to see how the film performs at the box office.
Next in line is Rahu Ketu, directed by Vipul Vig. The film is a treasure hunt comedy starring Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma. Chunky Panday and Piyush Mishra appear in key roles.
The film promises a relaxed watch filled with humour and chaos. It targets audiences looking for light entertainment without heavy drama. Word of mouth will play a major role in its weekend run.
The third release is One Two Cha Cha Chaa, starring Ashutosh Rana. It is positioned as a desi laugh riot with strong dramatic moments. The film caters to viewers who enjoy rooted comedy.
All three films arrive ahead of Border 2 and will test their strength over the coming weeks. Audiences who have missed comedy at the cinemas have plenty to choose from. The survival race begins this weekend.
