Director Rohit Shetty, known as Blockbuster Shetty in the industry, this time he came back with his hit Jodi with Ranveer Singh after the blockbuster Simba and is now in Cirkus. Rohit Shetty is known for Bol Bachchan, the superhit remake of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s film Golmaal franchise, and the Singham franchise. This time he has brought a remake of Gulzar’s memorable comedy film Angoor, Circus, but after watching the film, you feel that Rohit Shetty has not been able to come out of his Golmaal series. He has added some bricks and some obstacles to his film. There was never any logic in Rohit Shetty’s films anyway, but this time his magic has also disappeared. This family film of his has come out as the weakest film of his career.
Among the nine rasas of Natya Shastra, humor is considered to be the most difficult rasa. Based on its components, even if its permanent sense is lost, according to the dependence, stimulation, experience, and communication, the factors for generating humor are also different. If you want to understand it easily, then by making sarcasm, sarcasm, vulgarity and sardonic humor the basis of the story, from Hrishikesh Mukherjee to Dada Kondke and David Dhawan, all the directors have made different presentations of humor in cinema. Rohit Shetty’s new film Cirkus keeps on jumping from scene to scene with all kinds of humour. the figures of the characters with the events in the comic, the dialogue, and attempts also create a sense of humour, and Rohit Shetty’s writing team is confused here because they don’t have a clear direction from the very beginning to try to make a modern version of Rohit Shetty’s film ‘Angoor’. The film Cirkus is like a cocktail of all comedy films of Hindi and South Indian cinema, in which no clear color emerges due to a lack of balanced components.
Cirkus Movie Review: The Story
The story of Cirkus is like this in 1942 a scientist is explaining surrogacy to the scientists of his time. Brought up in an orphanage, this scientist again wants to prove that values are not hereditary but come from upbringing. In Hindi cinema, this thing has already been explained in Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna’s film ‘Parvarish’. In Cirkus, two sets of identical twins are made into two separate pairs, and both grow up in two neighboring cities of the same state. Growing up, both of them come to that crossroad and cross each other’s path which is called love. One has been married for five years. His writer wife cannot become a mother and does not believe in adopting a child. The other is still on the path of love and the biggest obstacle in reaching his destination is the father of the girlfriend. Then, like in the film ‘Angoor’, there is a ‘gang’ behind a lot of money. There is the context of spending the night with another’s wife and the confusion about the diamond necklace. Everyone knows what will happen after this.
Cirkus Movie Review and Analysis
All the adaptations of Shakespeare’s world-famous play ‘Comedy of Errors’ would have been made around the world. Gulzar made the film ‘Angoor’ in this play 40 years ago. People who have seen Sanjeev Kumar, Deven Verma, Moushumi Chatterjee, and Aruna Irani’s performances in this film, will not like the film Cirkus at all. But, even for those who have not seen the film ‘Angoor’, the film Cirkus has not turned out to be a very entertaining film. With the desire to watch a good comedy film as the year goes by, most of the people who come to see this film are concerned about the screenplay of this film. Since the script of the film is not well grounded, that’s why a character of the film keeps on explaining the story of the film to the audience. This use of the fourth wall is the biggest weakness of the screenplay of the film. Apart from this, Rohit Shetty did further damage to his film by establishing a ‘twin’-like relationship between the characters of both Roy. The dialogues of the film are bygone.
This is the 15th film of Rohit Shetty’s career and looking at the kind of film it is, this film seems to be his third failed film after ‘Zameen’ and ‘Bol Bachchan’. Rohit’s cinema has been the cinema of larger-than-life films. Here the problem with him was to recreate that era, for which he had only Hindi cinema to understand. That’s why he also mentions ‘Ram Aur Shyam’ and ‘Johnny Mera Naam’ in the story and plays all those songs in his film which are counted among the best songs of the golden era of Hindi cinema music but, all this also does not help the film as Rohit Shetty’s direction this time neither surprises nor establishes any kind of connection with the characters of the story. The familiar faces of Rohit’s films, who carry an entire army of supporting actors in every film, are also here and most of these faces do the most to make the film boring.
The script of the film is very weak, you already know when what will happen in the film. The dialogue has made the film more cumbersome. You will get to hear a few comedy punches in the film. Perhaps as many punches were there in the trailer of the film, the same is there in the entire film. Comedy has been woven around the current in the film. Talking about technical aspects, 90 percent of the film was shot on set. The color palette is used in the look of the film. That’s too loud. Everything is hollow i.e. fake. In defense of this, the makers can argue that they had shot the film during Kovid, but they can work on it after Kovid is over. At least on the color palette for sure. The background music and song music of the film has also not been able to bring much impact in the story. Retro songs have been heavily used in the film. Deepika is seen in the original song Current Laga.
Talking about acting, the film has a long list of actors, but everything from the film’s story to the screenplay and comedy was so weak that the actors had nothing to perform. Because of this despite having so many big names in the film, this film has not been able to bind you. The presence of Siddharth Jadhav, and Sanjay Mishra gives some relief in between. There is such a crowd of artists that many artists have not even got proper screen space. The film belongs to Ranveer Singh but the best work in this film is of Sanjay Mishra. Mukesh Tiwari also impresses. Siddharth Jadhav is a victim of overacting. Tiku Talsania, Brijendra Kala’s pairing in ‘Angoor’ fails to leave the same impact as CS Dubey and Yunus Parvez.
By taking the bus, Sanjay is the only one whose expressions make people laugh a little. His scenes with Ashwini Kalsekar are interesting and even when he comes on screen, the interest of the people wakes up a bit more in the film. The rest of the time the film Cirkus looks like some lavish television serial. Ranveer Singh is stuck in a dilemma. He could not impress either of the two characters of the double role. They must stop making Deepika Padukone the highlight of their films. The song of both is the most vulgar song of this decade. There is neither humor nor makeup in it. Like this song, the choreography in the rest of the songs is very poor. The dance direction has nothing to do with the rhythm of the songs. PT going on counts one to eight. Not a single song in the film stands the test of time.
The technical aspects of the film are also not up to the mark. Jomon T John’s cinematography is very disturbing. Whenever Murli Sharma tries to interact with the audience, his connection with the camera is not made. The sets of the film with bright colors, and its costumes also sting the eyes. The specialty of Shakespeare’s writing is that it is general despite being specific. To make a specific point here, Rohit Shetty has mocked the very soul of Shakespeare’s writing. The first sense of humor is alanban and Rohit Shetty’s film Cirkus kneeling on this first step. Anyway, no one has any hope for Jacqueline Fernandez. It was expected that Pooja Hegde would stand tall and improve her poor report card of films like ‘Mohenjo Daro’, ‘Housefull 4’ and ‘Radhe Shyam’ but Hindi cinema’s record of being present in flop films of veteran stars is Cirkus. persists even in Ranveer Singh’s Varun Sharma has given better support than these two heroines. He would have been more effective if he had not put on so much weight just to look goofy. The song ‘Ae Bhai Zara Dekh Ke Chalo’ written by Gopal Das Neeraj in the film ‘Mera Naam Joker’ is the destiny of the film Cirkus, especially its last line ‘Bina chidiya ka basera hai, na tera hai na mera hai’. ‘
Cirkus Movie Review: The Last Words
The character of Mala (Pooja Hegde), the wife of electrician Rai, who is distraught to adopt a child, has also not become interesting. Jacqueline Fernandez appeared in the film just like a decorative doll. The attraction of the film was Sanjay Mishra and Siddharth Jadhav. Despite the weak script, he has tried to impress the audience with his acting. Circus fails to entertain despite having a cast of comedy veterans like Ashwini Kalsekar, Brijend Kala, Siddharth Jadhav, Jani Liver, Tiku Talsania, Mukesh Tiwari, Anil Chiranjeet. The item song of the film Current Laga is catchy. However, this circus is pointless. This is the weakest film of Rohit’s career so far.
