Overview
- Released on January 16, the Pulkit Samrat–Varun Sharma comedy is written and directed by Vipul Vig and reimagines Rahu and Ketu as human figures born from a writer’s magical notebook.
- Early-show audiences on X praised the film as a laugh riot and a family-friendly watch, highlighting the lead duo’s chemistry.
- Critics from India Today, Hindustan Times, Filmfare and others fault the uneven writing, muddled mythology and pacing, though performances earn consistent praise.
- Box-office reports citing Sacnilk place Rahu Ketu around Rs 1 crore on Day 1 versus about Rs 1.25 crore for Happy Patel, though one early estimate pegged Rahu Ketu lower.
- Backed by Zee Studios and BLive Productions with a reported Rs 20–25 crore budget, the film opened in a crowded window alongside Happy Patel and the still-strong Dhurandhar.
