Ranveer singh has a dual role in Cirkus, however the movie fell flat with critics. The Rohit Shetty movie opened to an estimated 7.5 crore viewers on Friday. This far falls short of what was anticipated for the movie.
In the movie, which also stars Pooja Hegde, Jacqueline Fernandez, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Ashwini Kalsekar, Sulabha Arya, Vrajesh Hirjee, Siddhartha Jadhav as Momo, and several others, Varun Sharma also plays a dual character. It is based on The Comedy of Errors, a classic comedy by William Shakespeare.
Cirkus brought in between $7 and $7.5 million nett, according to a report on Boxofficeindia.com. According to the source, the movie did poorly on the Mumbai circuit, where it was projected to earn $5 million but only brought in about $3 million.
Cirkus, according to director Rohit Shetty, is intended for humour fans of Golmaal and All The Best. “It’s that kind of a film. This is for all those who loved those films. I’m sure they’re going to love it because I’ve watched the film,” he said as per a PTI report. “When we started off, I was just a filmmaker making films. Then, the kind of love I got from the audience, it became their film. So, I now make films for them, I take it as a responsibility,” he added.
This is Ranveer’s third movie that didn’t perform well at the box office. His most recent movie, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, struggled to sell tickets. His eagerly awaited sports drama 83 debuted after the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown and earned 109 crore at the domestic box office.
