The Fukrey boys return to cinemas with another comedy outing as Rahu Ketu gets its official theatrical release. The film stars Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma in the lead roles, reuniting the popular on-screen duo.
Early reactions to the mythological comedy have been mixed. Many viewers feel the film works as a clean family entertainer, though some portions appear dull and may only appeal strongly to fans of light comedy.
Rahu Ketu introduces a fresh idea by presenting the mythological figures as human agents of karma. While the film starts on a strong note, several viewers feel it loses focus on its core plot and weakens as it moves towards the end.
One of the biggest positives is the chemistry between Varun Sharma and Pulkit Samrat. Audiences have noted that their natural rapport keeps the film engaging, even during slower sequences, largely due to their comic timing.
However, the execution has drawn criticism, with many pointing out that the script lacks basic storytelling structure. The narrative offers no clear beginning or conclusion, which affects the overall impact of the film.
The presence of Piyush Mishra was expected to add depth, but the film underuses him. A similar issue appears with Chunky Pandey, who plays an Israeli gangster with limited effect.
While fans continue to enjoy the pairing of Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, the film struggles to deliver a compelling story. The weak plot ultimately leaves the film feeling incomplete by the time it ends.
Just watched Rahu Ketu and honestly #PulkitSamrat has grown so much as an actor. Comedy is so good, but his emotional scene really got me #RahuKetu pic.twitter.com/DykTG0hMQh

Rahu Ketu works largely because of the madness #PulkitSharma and #VarunSharma bring on screen. Their sync is so natural that it genuinely feels like they’re finishing each other’s sentences #RahuKetu pic.twitter.com/67i4VwB6Bm
