It starts the way good stories often do, with a voice that sounds like it has seen things. Piyush Mishra comes in gently, slightly amused, slightly dangerous, like someone about to tell you a myth and then quietly twist it when you least expect it. Before you can settle in, the tone is set. This is not mythology served straight. This is mythology after a long night out, loosened up, laughing at itself, with Rahu Ketu stepping in not as fearsome celestial forces, but as gloriously confused beings trying to keep up with the mess they have landed in.
That is when Rahu Ketu really clicks.
The trailer dropped on January 5, 2026, and it did not need fireworks to announce itself. It just started circulating. Clips popping up in feeds. Friends forwarding links with no context, which usually means one thing you have to watch this. Three minutes and seven seconds later, you get it.
Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma appear not as larger-than-life gods, but as two thoroughly lost beings trying to make sense of a world that clearly does not care about their confusion. Their Rahu and Ketu are not intimidating. They are baffled. Slightly nervous. Endearingly useless at blending in.
Pulkit plays it with a soft confusion, like someone who keeps nodding along while mentally whispering, none of this was in the plan. Varun Sharma, meanwhile, leans into the chaos. His reactions stretch just long enough, his expressions land just off center, the way real comedy often does. He is loud when needed, quiet when it counts, and completely comfortable being ridiculous.
The best part is how natural they feel together. You are not watching two actors finding their rhythm. You are watching two people who already know where the laughs live. Their earlier collaborations show in the way they interrupt each other, lean into silences, let moments breathe. It feels unforced. Almost careless, in a good way.
The trailer does not overexplain its fantasy. Gods exist. Destiny exists. Things go wrong. That is enough. It lets the comedy do the heavy lifting, weaving romance and mystery in without asking for patience or analysis. You are not meant to decode it. You are meant to enjoy it.
And then come the details that stick.
A signboard for Tandoorino Pizza flashes by, silly and perfect. Dialogues feel like they were written by someone who knows how people actually talk when they are trying to be funny, not poetic. Little pauses. Odd phrasing. Jokes that feel tossed off rather than polished.
The supporting cast slides in smoothly. Shalini Pandey shows confidence without announcement; her presence is calm and assured. Chunky Panday brings that familiar eccentric warmth. Amit Sial grounds the madness, Manu Rishi Chadha looks ready to steal moments, and Sumit Gulati fits right into the offbeat energy.
Online reactions have been exactly what you want for a film like this. People laughing and quoting lines. Pointing out tiny visual gags. No one is calling it groundbreaking. Plenty of people are calling it fun. Sometimes that distinction matters.
Vipul Vig’s direction feels relaxed, almost trusting. The trailer does not rush to prove anything. It does not shout. It just opens the door and lets you step inside. Backed by Zee Studios and BLive Productions, the film looks clean without being flashy, confident without being loud.
Something is reassuring about a trailer that knows its lane and stays in it. Rahu Ketu is not trying to reinvent comedy or mythology. It is happy playing with both, mixing them up, letting things get messy.
Maybe that is why it is landing.
Currently, audiences seem to be looking for stories that don’t require too much. Stories that show up with a sense of humor and leave you lighter than they found you. This feels like one of those.
January 16, 2026 is not far off. If the trailer is honest about anything, it is this, Rahu and Ketu are not here to preach or impress. They are here to stumble, joke, confuse themselves, and take you along for the ride.
And honestly, that sounds like a pretty good night at the movies.
