What Went Wrong?
Despite featuring the popular comedy duo of Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, known for their chemistry in films like Fukrey, Rahu Ketu couldn’t replicate their previous success. The film’s mythological premise failed to connect with modern audiences, resulting in lukewarm word-of-mouth that prevented any significant growth over the weekend.
The sharp Monday drop signals trouble ahead. With Border 2 releasing this week, Rahu Ketu will lose most of its screens and is projected to conclude its theatrical run under ₹10 crore—a disastrous result for the makers.
