The Fukrey duo is back with a new comedy film titled Rahu Ketu. The film stars Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma. It is scheduled to release in cinemas next week.
The official trailer of Rahu Ketu was released recently. Early reactions suggest that the familiar comedy formula may not be working this time. Many viewers feel the humour lacks freshness.
The film blends comedy with themes of ancient belief and mythology. It revolves around the journey of two friends. The trailer attempts to mix slapstick humour with mythological elements.
Piyush Mishra’s narration introduces the mythological backdrop of Rahu and Ketu. His voice sets the tone and context for the story. However, the impact appears limited.
Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma once again rely on physical humour and situational comedy. Audiences, however, seem tired of the same style. Several viewers said the jokes feel repetitive.
Users also criticised the trailer for cringeworthy scenes. Outdated VFX and excessive noise were highlighted as major issues. Instead of being funny, many found it distracting.
While the lead pair manages to impress in a few moments, the trailer overall fails to generate excitement. The buzz ahead of release remains weak.
Apart from the lead actors, the film also features Shalini Pandey and Chunky Pandey in supporting roles. Rahu Ketu is set to release on January 16. It remains to be seen if the film can win over audiences despite the lukewarm trailer response.
