The Bollywood comedy-fantasy film 'Rahu Ketu', starring Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, opened in Indian cinemas on January 16, 2026. The movie, also featuring Shalini Pandey, Piyush Mishra, and Chunky Panday, is described as a comedy adventure inspired by folklore. On its opening day, Friday, January 16, the film garnered an estimated net collection of ₹1 crore across India. Early reports from Sacnilk, as cited by various news outlets, provided these initial figures. The article's central claim of a 60% growth in the last 24 hours for 'Rahu Ketu' is corroborated by multiple credible sources. On its second day, Saturday, January 17, the film's net collection rose to an estimated ₹1.60 crore. This indeed represents a 60% increase from its opening day earnings of ₹1 crore. Consequently, the cumulative net box office collection for 'Rahu Ketu' in India after two days stands at ₹2.60 crore. Despite this growth, the film faced stiff competition from other releases, including 'Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos' starring Vir Das. While the growth percentage is notable, the overall box office performance for the film's first two days remains modest, indicating a challenging run ahead amidst competition.
