#Cirkus (2022) :
Movie Review –Even the wasted scenes of #Angoor would make a better film than this. By far, Rohit Shetty’s Worst Flick Ever.

The man, the legend, the one and only Farhad Samji behind ultra craps like Coolie No 1, Street Dancer 3D, Laxmii, Housefull 4, Bachchan Pandey and now Cirkus. Rohit Shetty’s quality of his films has decreased with his writing. ?? pic.twitter.com/7XNFGyqeVK

The film has attracted some audience but such reviews show that the word of mouth would not be as good for the makers. Rohit Shetty has given super-hit comedies, but his go-to actors and previous characters also could not save the poor writing and direction.
