![]() Shetty, who has specialised in a certain kind of humour in superhits such as 'Singham', 'Golmaal' and 'Chennai Express', fails miserably in raising laughs. His character repeats himself so often that he probably didn't have to memorise his lines - nor did he get any opportunity to deliver a dialogue impulsively.įrom among the ensemble cast, which is comprised of veterans Tiku Talsania, Vrajesh Hirje, Mukesh Tiwary, Brijender Kala, Sanjay Mishra and Johny Lever, not one of them has a scene that could be described as hilarious, comical or mildly amusing. Now, that could have led to not one but numerous funny moments.Īnd though the writers do their best to introduce characters, such as the mothers (Ashwini Kalsikar and Sulabha Arya) and girlfriends Mala and Bindu (Hegde and Fernandes) to add to the mix-ups, chaos and disorder, all we have are pathetic example of poor writing skills and excruciatingly unbearable situations, so much so that even the gifted Ranveer Singh can barely salvage the film. ![]() Short of getting electrocuted, the twin brother experiences the severity of the shock to such an extent that whoever comes in contact with him, feels it too. He earns his living professionally, but whenever his body touches an electric wire, his twin in another city feels the shock as the current flows through his tissues. ![]() His act of holding naked electric wires has everyone enthusiastically applauding him for an encore. One Roy works in a circus and is unaffected by electric currents, causing much awe and laughter among the audience. Needless to add, misunderstandings reign supreme when people mistake one for the other. The two sets of twins run into each other several years later, when they are coincidentally in the same town. Coincidentally, the two pairs get adopted by two different sets of parents - one Roy is deliberately paired with another Joy and the other Roy with the other Joy in Ooty and Bengaluru, respectively.įrom the basic premise, this should have been a laugh riot as the identical twins who live in different cities come together and mistaken identity causes a host of ludicrous situations. Twins Roy and Roy (Singh) and Joy and Joy (Sharma) get separated at birth. Even when writers Farhad Samji, Sanchit Bedre and Vidhi Ghodgaonkar attempt to Indianise the much-amended tale, there's nothing out there in terms of a creative twist in this over-two-hour-long film. So, what does the film have to offer? Old gags, insufferable jokes, bad acting and a plot that just doesn't take off. Sadly, though, Bollywood is as bad at adapting as it is at conceiving fresh ideas. And his 'Comedy of Errors' has been a favourite of Bollywood filmmakers.Īfter Kishore Kumar's 'Do Dooni Chaar' and Sanjeev Kumar's 'Angoor' and a few other forgettable adaptations, comes Rohit Shetty's 'Cirkus', featuring Ranveer Singh playing two sets of identical twins who are accidentally separated at birth. The timeless Shakespeare, 400-plus years after he entertained Queen Elizabeth I and her courtiers, continues to resonate in different ways with each generation. Music: Devi Sri Prasad, Badshah and Lijo George. Cast: Ranveer Singh, Pooja Hegde, Jacqueline Fernandes, Johny Lever, Sanjay Mishra and Varun Sharma.Ĭinematography: Jomon T. But it is all pretty much irrelevant because it makes no difference to the result of the film.Director: Rohit Shetty. A report in BoxOffice India suggested, “The four day collections of the film are 23.50 crore nett and it may well be a first week in the 30 crore nett range, unless it holds at these levels as the big drop has come on Monday, which may might lead to a little more than 30 crore nett. The holdover releases - Avatar: The Way Of Water and Drishyam 2, both recorded upward trends in their Monday collections, while Cirkus was seen coming down heavily. In a silver lining, these collections were done despite the holdover releases showing good business and the period between Christmas and New Year is conducive for releases. Most experts had predicted a 50 per cent drop for Cirkus collections on Monday but the numbers dropped by 60 per cent and as the film only managed to collect 2.75 crore nett collections on the first day of the week. Most trade pundits were expecting the film to show a major drop on Monday box office collections, but the box office update for the film’s 4th day has caught even the most informed trade sources unawares. The film has been panned by the critics and the audience reactions have been equally dismal. Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty’s pair which created an impact in movies like Simmba and Sooryavanshi has hit a roadblock with their latest release Cirkus.
