Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India desribe it as "A witless assault on the senses."[14] Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times gave 2 stars out of 5 and said that "The film throws everything it can at the wall in the hope of generating humour, but very little of it actually lands."[15] Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India rated it 3/5 stars and writes that "Rahu Ketu is refreshingly different. It has chaotic, busy, and occasionally uneven energy, but delivers plenty of genuine laughs and attempts something unusual within the comedy space."[16]
Vineeta Kumar of India Today rated it 2/5 stars and said that " The Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma starrer struggles to justify its ambitious mythological premise, collapsing under weak writing, confused mythology and a narrative that goes nowhere."[17] Mayur Sanap of Rediff.com gave 1 star and observed that "Rahu Ketu crams in a clumsy social commentary on corruption and social evils, along with flashy dance numbers, trying to do everything and too much all at once, before ending up as khichd."[18]
Deepa Gahlot writing for Scroll.in noted that "It’s as high concept as a modest Bollywood movie can get – a magical notebook, which makes what is written in it happen."[19] Rachit Gupta of Filmfare gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said that "Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma's honest efforts are wasted in the dull comedy."[20] Zinia Bandyopadhyay writing for Firstpost felt that "The Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma-starrer offers moments of humour and mythological insight, but inconsistent storytelling holds it back."[21]
