Cirkus Film Outline:

‘Cirkus’ is a busy film filled with a battery of characters put together to make us laugh, but it is far from that. Entertaining the audience with slapstick comedy and drama in his last films, Rohit Shetty has successfully walked. Still, this time, he is likely to have tripped several times along the way.

Cirkus Film Review

Bollywood star director Rohit Shetty’s big Christmas release Cirkus, about two pairs of alike twins, is several a case of a double disaster than twice the fun. In looking to Shakespeare for inspiration, one would adopt that you’d have a safe story to fall back on. But here, despite four credited writers (three for the dialogue alone), the Bard’s ’The Comedy of Errors is swiped into an unsalvageable hodgepodge.

Much hope rested on Cirkus, directed by Rohit Shetty; there was an expectation that his latest film, which releases in India and other territories on December 23, would see the industry begin 2023 on a high. From now on, it feels more like another big miss than a possible hit.

Story

Two sets of twins, both called Roy (acted by Ranveer Singh) and Joy (played by Varun Sharma), have been unsuspectingly swapped at birth and, as adults, become embroiled in a series of comic mishaps rising from mistaken identity. A set of twins owns a circus in the hill town of Ooty in South India, in which Roy is doing an eye-roll during an electric act that has a straight impact on his long-lost twin brother, who lives miles away in Bangalore. Circus-owning Roy’s wife, Mala (Pooja Hegde), can’t conceive and is desperate to adopt, while he puts much more stores in his bloodline and lineage. 

In Bangalore, the other twin, Roy, is under the scrutiny of the father of his girlfriend, Bindu (Jacqueline Fernandez), and all hell breaks loose when he visits Ooty to own a tea estate and is mistaken for his brother. Confusion is caused by a gang of crooks who have an eye on the cash he carries for business purposes.

Annoying characters occupy Cirkus, and acting is done rough and loud by some of Hindi cinema’s otherwise reliable actors, including Sanjay Mishra and Johnny Lever. Excessiveness extends to every aspect of the film: the over-the-top production design, the overwrought period setting, the kitschy sets, the exaggerated costumes, and the utterly forgettable music. Even nature feels oversaturated in the film’s frames.

Conclusion

Cirkus has too many characters, which creates chaos and thus becomes unfunny; Rohit Shetty’s film is one of the worst films of this year. ‘Cirkus’ is a busy film filled with a battery of characters put together to make us laugh, but it is far from that. Amusing and charming the audience with slapstick comedy and drama is a tightrope that Rohit Shetty has successfully walked. Still, this time he seems to have tripped several times along the way.
