The Hindi comedy-fantasy film 'Rahu Ketu,' featuring Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Shalini Pandey, and Chunky Panday, made its theatrical debut across India on January 16, 2026. Directed by Vipul Vig and produced by Zee Studios and BLive Productions, the movie brings back the popular 'Fukrey' duo of Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma. The plot revolves around two bumbling characters, Rahu and Ketu, who come to life from a magical notebook and embark on a chaotic adventure to retrieve it after it's stolen. This quest leads them into unexpected encounters, including a drug mafia network, blending mythological references with modern-day antics for a humorous and adventurous narrative. The article under verification, 'Rahu Ketu Box Office Collection Day 1 - Sacnilk,' claims the film garnered an India net collection of approximately ₹1.00 Crore on its opening day. However, earlier reports from other outlets, also citing Sacnilk as the source, provided a significantly lower 'early estimate' of ₹0.13 Crore (₹13 lakhs) for Day 1. This discrepancy in reported figures from or attributed to Sacnilk raises questions about the exact initial box office performance. Critics have largely given 'Rahu Ketu' negative reviews, with titles like 'A mythological misfire' and 'A Comedy That Never Finds Its Point', suggesting a lukewarm reception that typically correlates with lower box office numbers. The film registered an overall 4.12% Hindi occupancy on its opening day.
