Cirkus....
Inspired from Gulzar's
Angoor ( 1982 )
Angoor inspired from
Do Dooni Chaar ( 1968 )
Earlier it was adapted in a Bengali film
Braanti Bilas ( 1963 )
Originally it was a Shakespeare's play
The Comedy Of Errors
Two identical twins, gets separated and adopted by different families, staying in different cities
For some reason, all four are now in one city and we have the comedy playing around the error of mixing up
The main chunk of the role ( quantity ) is given to Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Mishra
Both are better performers aa compared to the stupid kinda roles you have given them Rohit Sir !!!!
The two leading actresses Pooja Hegde and Jacqueline Fernandes have very little scope to act
Infact Varun Sharma have more screen time
Tiku Talsania, Brijendra Kala, Johny Lever, Murli Sharma, Vrajesh Hirji, Mukesh Tiwari....all of these not managed well
The only saving grace and interesting performance was given by that Marathi brilliant actor Siddharth Jadhav
In Angoor we had Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma throughout the movie in centre, with all other characters playing along side by side, making the film a masterpiece
That is not the case here in Cirkus
That humorous bedroom scene between Sanjeev Kumar and Moushumi Chatterjee is the highlight of Angoor
Similar scene tried here also, but fails miserably
Let's check out Rohit Shetty's performance chart

Back to Cirkus....
Festive times, so the ticket rates have also gone high, but the quality has gone down
Though the movie is set in the 60s era, it's given a nice colourful look....grass with high pitched green, red buildings, nicely done up trains and cars, clean roads with trams operating, classy looking circus arena
But the interesting movement of the film is missing
So all this rosy thing done up is of no advantage
Either Angoor had to be copied totally or just an outside theme had to be taken from it
This half copying half trying to add extra masala, made the final product not worthy enough even for a one time watch
First half
2 / 5
Second half
1 / 5
Overall
3 / 10
Can be avoided
