Zee Studios and BLive Productions have jointly produced a quirky, offbeat comedy titled Rahu Ketu, by Vipul Vig. Slated to release on January 16, 2026, the movie brings together an interesting blend of Hindu mythology, folklore, situational comedy, and social commentary, a judicious mix that makes for entertainingly thoughtful cinema.
At the core of Rahu Ketu lie Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, reunifying their hit screen chemistry from the Fukrey franchise. The duo plays Dasha and Disha, characters reimagined in this new narrative with deeper layers taken from the mythological figures Rahu and Ketu, considered in Hindu astrology as celestial beings who maintained cosmic balance and taught karmic lessons. Their comic timing and natural rapport are expected to carry the film’s humor, hence making the movie a must-watch for any fan of light-hearted clever storytelling.
Shalini Pandey, who plays the female lead in the film, infuses the movie with charm and energy. The supporting cast brings on board a lot of substance and sparkle to the film. The names familiar and promising for their wit, satire, and flair for historical storytelling include Piyush Mishra, Chunky Panday, Amit Sial, and Manu Rishi Chadha. And the best part-their roles have been designed to complement the central duo while contributing to the film’s exploration of mythology in a fresh and comic vein.
Rahu Ketu is the right blend of genres-from folklore to comedy and contemporary social commentary, the movie will both tickle ribs and make viewers reflect. The release this January, Rahu Ketu therefore starts 2026 on a high note for Indian cinema, especially aimed at fans of mythologically inspired films, as well as those more invested in quick-witted situational humor.
This reunites Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, along with a great ensemble cast that, in turn, provides a lot of entertainment with such an innovative piece, making it surely worth the cinematic ride.
