Opinion: Cirkus is proof that the Indian audience has moved on, but Rohit Shetty hasn't

Hindustan Times  

In a later episode in Netflix's The Romantics, producer-director Aditya Chopra opens up about the failure of his last directorial feature Befikre, which released in December, 2016. One wonders what would director Rohit Shetty choose as a reason to accommodate with the failure of his latest, the weirdly titled Cirkus, that released last year during Christmas and now on OTT. With one foot firmly planted in the 90s cinema of excesses and humour, the makers of Cirkus are blindsided by the fact that the Indian audience has already moved on. Cirkus is proof that Rohit Shetty and team have obstinately chosen to disregard the fact that the audience is not interested to look back, and more so when there's clearly no logic to what happens on screen. Now that Ranveer Singh features in both Befikre and Cirkus is perhaps the only connecting thread- an actor trusting and prioritizing well-known directors above scripts time and time again.

‘Cirkus’ movie review: Rohit Shetty, Ranveer Singh’s film is a reckless ruckus

The Hindu  

Rohit Shetty has been making his comedy of errors for a long time, but this time, the director who introduced us to a new Golmaal gets inspired by Shakespeare’s epic play and dusts off Gulzar’s Angoor to create a faded copy that is absolutely dull and listless. It is surprising because it is headlined by a live wire of actor …
