How netizens are reacting to Rahu Ketu?

Rahu Ketu is a blend of comedy, fantasy, and drama that also marks the Fukrey writer’s directorial debut. Although the movie observed a mixed reaction from fans, Rahu Ketu is undoubtedly one of the unique Hindi films with its different narrative and cosmic chaos. Many fans praised Varun Sharma and Pulkit Samrat’s natural acting talent and comedic timing. However, some were disappointed with its execution. A fan shared, “Honestly, it turned out to be quite disappointing. The movie is about a mysterious book “Atrangi Kahaniyaan” and revolves around the story of Rahu–Ketu, but the execution never really takes off.” Another wrote, “#VarunSharma is excellent too with top-notch comic timing, backed by good supporting  cast.”

Many fans hailed the captivating bromance of the Fukrey duo and their acting mettle. “Varun Sharma as Rahu and Pulkit Samrat as Ketu are killing it with their epic bromance and killer timing. He deserves more mainstream commercial films. His charming screen presence is always a delight to watch in Rahu Ketu, he once again proves his acting mettle,” wrote the other. Many called the second half better than the first half and also approved Shalini Pandey’s charm.

What is Rahu Ketu about?

Rahu Ketu features Pulkit and Varun in the titular roles. They play a duo who is considered extremely unlucky. However, things take a turn when a mythological twist and a cosmic intervention get tangled up in a story. With the Fukrey duo’s comedy of errors and interesting jokes, Vipul Vig’s film is a decent pic for family entertainment. Chunky Pandey appears in a villain avatar alongside Amit Sial and Piyush Mishra in the supporting cast.
