Two comedy films hit theaters this weekend, but both struggled to make an impact. While Pulkit Samrat’s Rahu Ketu managed a modest opening, Ashutosh Rana’s One Two Cha Cha Chaa barely registered at the box office.

Rahu Ketu vs One Two Cha Cha Chaa Box Office Performance at a Glance

Film	Day 1 Collection	Status
Rahu Ketu	₹1-1.25 crore	Underwhelming
One Two Cha Cha Chaa	₹10 lakh	Disastrous

What Went Wrong?

Despite featuring the popular Fukrey duo of Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, Rahu Ketu opened with collections around one crore rupees. The fantasy comedy failed to generate pre-release buzz, resulting in poor theater occupancy.

One Two Cha Cha Chaa fared even worse, collecting a mere ₹10 lakh on opening day—essentially sealing its theatrical fate immediately. The multi-starrer featuring Ashutosh Rana, Anant V. Joshi, and others couldn’t attract audiences despite its ensemble cast.

What’s Next?

Both films have one week of relatively free run before Border 2 arrives to dominate screens on January 23, 2026. According to Pinkvilla’s box office report, both comedies need strong word-of-mouth and weekend growth to salvage their theatrical runs.

Director Vipul Vig’s Rahu Ketu will need to show significant improvement over the coming days, but early indicators suggest it may struggle to reach even a modest lifetime total.
