Rahu Ketu, directed by Vipul Vig and starring Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma in the lead roles, recorded a sharp drop on its first Monday. The movie could collect just Rs. 45 lakh, taking the total cume to Rs. 4.30 crore net at the Indian box office. The drop from its opening day is around 50 percent.
Coming from an ambitious mythological premise, Rahu Ketu couldn’t strike the chords with the audience. The movie met with average word-of-mouth, which is why it couldn’t see any sort of significant growth so far. The Pulkit Samrat starrer is expected to wind its entire run under the Rs. 10 crore net mark, which would be a disastrous result.
Released alongside Happy Patel: Khatarnaak Jasoos and One Two Cha Cha, Rahu Ketu maintained an upper hand in terms of collections. However, that won’t change its fate in any way. The movie Rahu Ketu doesn’t have much room to grow as the Pulkit Samrat starrer will face Sunny Deol’s Border 2 from the coming weekend. The much-awaited military drama is likely to grab most of the screens and kick every non-performing holdover release out of the cinemas.

For the unversed, Rahu Ketu is about the two funny characters, born from writer Churu Lal’s magical notebook, who are set on a voyage to retrieve it from the crafty Meenu Taxi.
