Cirkus Review | Circus Movie Review: All the characters, colours and chaos cannot make up for lack of comedy

Cirkus Story: Two units of an identical twins separated at start, find yourself in the identical city on the similar time, years later. The confusion and misunderstanding that ensues throws their lives right into a tizzy.

Cirkus Assessment: A sq. and B sq. are the names of the twins, who’re later christened as Roy (Ranveer Singh) and Pleasure (Varun Sharma) by the 2 totally different {couples}, who undertake them. Thus, unknowingly setting up a recipe for catastrophe and confusion that’s sure to play out when these 4 boys develop up and stumble upon one another. That’s exactly the one-line story (if we are able to name it that) of this Rohit Shetty movie that is presupposed to be a comedy of errors however is abysmally low on that ingredient.

Set within the picturesque inexperienced hills of Ooty and thoroughly created vibrant and unreal set items that appear to be a theme park, ‘Cirkus’ relies within the late 60s or early 70s period, because the movie desperately tries to pay a tribute to the cinema of the time. Many basic Bollywood numbers pop up within the background at each given alternative and the one factor louder than the yesteryear costumes of the actors, is their performing. It’s an all-out slapstick comedy however the issue will not be that, as Bollywood has seen a number of movies in that style which have taken the viewers together with it for a joyride. It additionally consists of some movies from Rohit Shetty’s steady.

Collectively, barely a scene or two handle to evoke the sort of laughter we’re used to experiencing in a Rohit Shetty movie. Pattern this, our hero Roy is resistant to excessive voltage shocks and his showstopper act at his ‘Jubilee Cirkus’ is to dramatically make two dwell wires kiss one another, together with his naked palms. However everytime he does that his judwaa bhai experiences a large electrical shock and so does anybody who touches him. All is nicely with him as soon as the act is over. If you will get previous this, then you definately’d maybe have rather less discomfort in sitting by way of the remainder of the plot that entails caricatures, good actors wasted in stereotypical characters, unfunny dialogues, and conditions that actually go nowhere. The screenplay presents nothing recent when it comes to comedy and punchlines and suffers from abject repetition.

Ranveer Singh tries to do his greatest in portraying each his characters, however sadly each the components lack sufficient conviction. Deepika Padukone’s cameo within the music ‘Present Laga Re’ is a spotlight that comes as a real respite. Varun Sharma’s comedian timing is criminally wasted right here and, ultimately, it is upto the ever-so-dependable Johny Lever (as Polson bhai) to herald some much-needed natural laughter. The ace comic creates extra rib-tickling moments in his jiffy of screentime than your entire solid put collectively. Pooja Hegde appears resplendent in her sombre position of Roy’s spouse Mala. Jacqueline Fernandez steps in so as to add the glam quotient as Roy’s girlfriend and does simply that. Sanjay Mishra as soon as once more takes one for the workforce in a task that isn’t humorous, however the actor makes up for the dearth within the writing and the lacking punchlines, which is a recurring downside of this unfunny mess.

‘Cirkus’ is a busy movie crammed with a battery of characters put along with a objective to make us snort, however is much from that. Entertaining the viewers with slapstick comedy and drama is a tightrope that Rohit Shetty has efficiently walked earlier than however this time he appears to have tripped a number of occasions alongside the best way.
