Cirkus

All the characters, colours and chaos cannot make up for *lack of comedy.*

Remake of classic Cult Comedy Angoor 1982 Movie - Sanjeev Kumar

But a bad one..!!

An army of characters put together with a purpose to make us laugh, but is far from that. ..not funny.

Very Dull and nonsense movie with overActing of Ranveer Singh..! 👎

varun sharma is overRated bahot hi ghatia actor hai vo..!! Jcqline is a plastic doll she cannot act - Bimbbette..! Pooja is hving limited role..!

Army of comedians are there but none can make us smile - such poor script & direction..! Rohit shetty ne khud ne ye film nahi dekhi thi or kya..?? I mean how dumb he can be coming up with this movie...! 🤔

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...

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 💯

I don't normally write reviews. But the monstrosity that this is ..got me here and here I am. Nothing. Absolutely nothing makes sense. The colours, the dialogues, the characters, the storyline, the humour...or lack of..was so bad...SO bad that my body was required to shut down as it couldn't process this flow of information anymore. I fell asleep twice and woke up to find myself still stuck in the theatre like a scary ride gone wrong. You saw the trailer...it had the best bits. Avoid. My money is gone but hopefully, through this review the rest of you can still escape. I will need some kind of mental rehabilitation to return to my normal self. And the CGI...oh ho ho ho..don't even get me started...

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!!
