Happy Patel is a washout!
With just 5.52 crores coming in the first week, Happy Patel has been a washout at the Indian box office. While there’s no official word about the budget, the film was reportedly made at 25 crores. Against this cost, it has earned only 5.52 crores, thus recovering only 27.6% of the budget. The poor run has left the film with a low number of shows in the second week. So, it won’t be making any significant earnings from now on, and it is heading towards a lifetime net collection below 6 crores.
With recovery remaining well below 50%, Happy Patel has secured a flop verdict, per Koimoi’s parameters. For Bollywood, it’s the third setback of 2026 after Ikkis and Rahu Ketu.
Box office summary:
- Budget – 25 crores
- India net collection – 5.52 crores
- Recovery – 27.6%
- Verdict – Flop
