User ‘Its_CineHub’ wrote, “#RahuKetuReview ~ HILARIOUS & HATKE!..We have been watching many films nowadays, but trust me, #RahuKetu is ONE SUCH FILM which brings a FRESH CHANGE, i.e., it is a HILARIOUS, LIGHT and HATKE film from the very 1st minute. The 1st Half of the film is a BANGER ENTERTAINER as it flows smoothly with the shenanigans of the lead actors & all the characters. The PLOT is basic, but how it keeps making you go ROFL with each passing minute is absolutely nice! The 2nd half of the film comprises the real concept of bringing ASTROLOGY to pop culture, and here too the Director has really executed it in a funny way that you will love! The CONFUSION, the errors, and everything that follows are worthy of watching. Performance wise, #VarunSharma is the REAL BACKBONE of the film as he carried it on his shoulders! What a COMIC TIMING, what a dialogue delivery, everything is so, so good #PulkitSamrat is good too in his sequences and delivers a VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE. #ShaliniPandey and the other star cast have done pretty well too. The Music of the film complements the plot regularly, though there are some pacing issues in the film in the 1st half which could have been handled more efficiently and also the plot is paper thin but again that works in favour of the film’s detailing too ! Other than that, this is a GOOD WATCH for a light entertainer. Overall,  if you loved #Fukrey, then this should not be MISSED. Must watch hai. @varunsharma90 @PulkitSamrat @ZeeStudios_.”

Another one, ‘SumitkadeI’ commented, “#RahuKetuReview - A Quirky, Laugh-Out-Loud Astrology Comedy. A light-hearted laugh riot that clicks from the word go. Simple plot, good laughs, and a quirky spin on astrology that works well. #VarunSharma steals the show with top-notch comic timing, backed nicely by #PulkitSamrat and the cast. Minor pacing hiccups aside, it’s a fun, breezy entertainer. Rating - 3 Stars. #RahuKetu.”

X user commented, ‘bolly_talkies’ said, ‘#RahuKetu Review: (3/5) A cosmic comedy that turns into a laugh riot. #RahuKetu knows the space it wants to play in and stays there. Drawing from familiar ideas of faith, destiny, and mythology, the film gives these themes a lighter, entertaining spin instead of treating them with heavy seriousness. The narrative takes a while to settle and does stretch in parts, but it finds its footing when it leans into its central idea of cosmic forces nudging human lives. #PulkitSamrat and #VarunSharma have a natural connection because of their previous films, and their easy chemistry, reminiscent of their Fukrey days, adds warmth and humour to the film. #ShaliniPandey has delivered a sincere performance.She manages to create her own space between the diverse cast. Their banter and timing help carry the film through its slower patches. Performances are earnest, the intent is clear, and the film doesn’t try to be more than what it is. Verdict: Rahu Ketu may not be flawless, but it offers enough charm, laughs, and intrigue to make it a decent theatrical watch to start 2026 with.’
