Cirkus

Cirkus review :

Just when you thought it can't get any worse for Bollywood in 2022, Rohit Shetty comes with his oddly spelt CIRKUS which would definitely rank amongst the worst Hindi movies of this year. Truly. Badly. Deeply. After the excruciating two and half hours inside the dark near empty Citylight theatre at Mahim, my head was reeling at the sheer absurdity of it all and eyes watering from the ultra bright gaudy colour palettes needlessly used in the movie.

Not that I have a problem with loud over the top comedies which till date, were Shetty's fortè. I have liked the Golmaal series (2006 -) and even those standalone All the Best (2009) and Bol Bachchan (2012) he churns out occasionally. But Cirkus is a problem. And the problem is a lacklustre outdated script which fails to engage and entertain you at any point. Trust me, everything about the movie is seen before endured that..

The Comedy of Errors adapted wonderfully by Gulzar as Angoor (1982) is the obvious inspiration here. Ranveer Singh and Varun Sharma step in to the late and great Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Varma's shoes but sadly, cant hold a candle to them. Jacqueline and Pooja Hegde are hopelessly wasted. Rohit Shetty regulars from Golmaal series make their mandatory appearances but still can't evoke any laughter. Yup, there is an exception in form of Marathi actor Siddharth Jadhav who is genuinely funny. Veteran comedian like Johnny Lever is restricted to three scenes only. Sanjay Mishra falls flat imitating the yesteryear villain Jeevan while Murali Sharma does a Kader Khan breaking the fourth wall continously and talking to the audience.

I can go on and on ranting about the film but don't wish to do so just for Rohit and his team. I sincerely believe the talented director has the capability to entertain his audience aplenty. He is truly the present day Manmohan Desai. One particular bad day at work is excused. Better luck next time dude...bring back Singham or Golmaal!!

This movie is not just a waste of producer's money but also the time of cinema goers. Rohit Shetty has produced abysmal content. It seems like they were thinking of ways to waste money, speaking of which they have shot the movie with so much fake background they didn't have the budget or the sense to at least take realistic baby shots instead of producing dolls. They have the guts to produce such a movie at a time when respect for Bollywood is already going down. It's a request to Rohit Shetty either to produce some good content and carry on his legacy or to stop producing at all, can't even start on the stupid message thos movie was conveying.

They were relying on some one line punches and 5 to 10 min of physical comedy. Why do they even cast Jacqueline in the movies is a big question, she couldn't even stand straight in one of the scenes. Ranveer Singh please don't waste your talent in doing such bad content.

#Over-confidence ... well deserved flop else he would have continue same formula time to re-invent now Now, the only hope for Cirkus is the audience swamping the theaters during the festive period of Christmas and New Year. If isn't able to do that, it will mark the third flop in a row for Ranveer Singh and the second for Rohit shetty after Sunday. All said lets hope bollywood come back to vilage story like hungama hulchul dhol malamaal we are fed up with high class portrayal movie like SOTY etc please take time and deliver quality over quantity else all will flop again and again no matter promotiion.

If you want to watch a film with absolute no plot or story, watch this.

This harks back to a bad 1980s Bollywood film that were cheap and nasty.

Twins separated at birth is a story done to death in Bollywood but there is no difference in the two characters.

Ranveer overacts to the point that it made me cringe. The supporting cast have very little to support.

Money has been wasted making this and I doubt they will recover their budget let alone make a profit. I think Bollywood need to go back to the drawing board and think of some original ideas that appeal to the much wiser and aware audiences.

Its just bad, save your money or give to the needy. This is a total mess 💯

When you see a movie made by Rohit Shetty, you expect good comedies, story and action... In this film there was none... It has a weak storyline... They tried hard to make you laugh but they failed.... This might be the worst Rohit Shetty movie...

Talking of Actings, Ranveer acting was average but this role did not suit him... Rakul was average too... Other senior casts like Johnny Lever was good but due to poor story line and dialogues it did not come out upto the mark....

The only good thing about the movie was the locations and beautiful sets.... This is not a movie you want to watch on christmas holidays...
