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 And the problem is a lacklustre outdated script which fails to engage and entertain you at any point.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!!

Worst thing about the film is double role of Ranveer Singh & the best part was when the film ended. Pooja Hegde and Jacqueline Fernandez are wasted in the film and so are several veteran actors, all of whom try to take the film to a new height but fall due to the weak script. This movie was one of the worst I have ever seen. The plot was ridiculous and the acting was incredibly wooden and wooden. The special effects were laughably bad and the dialogue was cheesy and cliche. Overall, the movie is worse than Sajid Khan films & was a complete waste of time and money, and I cannot recommend it to anyone.

#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.

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...

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...! 🤔
