Cirkus Movie Review: Rohit Shetty's Brand Of Comedy Touches A New Low

It's possible that Rohit Shetty's newest film is his worst.

Despite having Ranveer Singh in two different roles, neither of him are used effectively.

Should Rohit Shetty be making amends to Ranveer Singh's fans for squandering an actor of his calibre in such an inane comedy

Or perhaps he ought to be making amends to his own fans for having produced such a dated and humourless film.

In 2006, his Golmaal was successful. It's been 16 years since then.

Shetty continues to appear mired in that time period.

His comedy sinks to a new low with Cirkus, and it's a shame that Ranveer was a part of it.
