The Hindi-language comedy film 'Rahu Ketu', featuring Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma in lead roles, commenced its theatrical run on January 16, 2026. The movie reportedly garnered an estimated net collection of ₹4.35 to ₹4.40 crores in its opening weekend across India. This figure includes approximately ₹1.00 crore on Day 1 (Friday), a jump to around ₹1.60-1.65 crores on Day 2 (Saturday), and about ₹1.50-1.75 crores on Day 3 (Sunday). With a reported production budget of ₹25 crores, the film's opening weekend performance accounts for roughly 17.4% to 17.6% of its total investment recovery. The Koimoi article's headline claiming a 17% budget recovery is consistent with the figures presented within the article and largely corroborated by other box office tracking sites. 'Rahu Ketu' faced considerable competition from other releases, including 'Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos' and the continuing run of 'Dhurandhar', which impacted its box office trajectory. While the film received a mixed to positive response from critics, its initial box office performance suggests a challenging road ahead to achieve profitability, especially with upcoming major releases like 'Border 2'. The film is produced by Zee Studios and BLive Productions.
