Rahu Ketu is a fantasy comedy built on an intriguing mythological idea that ultimately collapses under confused writing and excessive noise. Directed by Vipul Vig, the film imagines Rahu and Ketu—not as shadow planets of astrology, but as bumbling, human‑like agents of karma who accidentally enter the real world through a magical notebook. While the concept promises quirky fun, the execution struggles to find rhythm or purpose. [hollywoodr...rindia.com]

Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma share easy camaraderie, and their brotherly banter offers occasional sparks of humour. Varun Sharma leans heavily into slapstick, while Pulkit plays the straighter foil, but their performances are let down by inconsistent characterization. Supporting actors like Piyush Mishra and Manu Rishi Chaddha bring moments of charm, though even their talent cannot rescue the scattered screenplay. [scroll.in]

Visually, the Himachal Pradesh setting adds freshness, with scenic landscapes doing more work than the script itself. However, the film’s narrative wanders aimlessly, piling subplots without payoff. Mythology is treated more as a gimmick than a meaningful framework, and the magic‑diary device raises questions the story never answers. Critics have widely noted that the film’s ambition is undermined by weak structure, erratic pacing, and jokes that rarely land. [indiatoday.in]

At nearly two and a half hours, Rahu Ketu feels far longer than it should. What could have been a sharp, satirical fantasy becomes an exhausting experience, unsure whether it wants to be spoof, social commentary, or buddy comedy. Despite a few light moments, the film fails to justify its premise.
