Cirkus Box Office Day 1: Rohit Shetty's comedy-drama starring Ranveer Singh, failed to make impact on its opening day

Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty's second collaboration, Cirkus, does not succeed in evoking the same enchantment at the ticket counters as their first, Simmba.

Cirkus, a comedy-drama directed by Rohit Shetty and starring Ranveer Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Pooja Hegde, underperformed on its opening day. The picture failed to draw audiences to the theatres, despite trade analysts' high expectations given the holiday weekend. Low attendance for Cirkus resulted in weak box office sales. James Cameron's Avatar 2 is a major competitor for the movie.

Ranveer Singh's Cirkus had a slow morning rush, and the theatre struggled to fill up for the afternoon and evening performances. The film only made Rs. 3.16 crore on its nationwide channels. The opening day box office for Rohit Shetty's movie ranged from Rs. 6.35 crore to Rs. 7.35 crore. The amount is about half of what industry analysts anticipated.

Cirkus ended up being Rohit Shetty's poorest debut in ten years. His most recent film, Sooryavanshi, achieved a double-digit opening with Rs. 26.29 crores. Simmba, a 2018 release, too made Rs. 20.72 crores on its first day of sales. On its first day, Golmaal Again made Rs. 30.14 crore, followed by Dilwale with Rs. 21 crore, Singham Returns with Rs. 32.09 crore, and Chennai Express with Rs. 33.12 crores.


If the movie did not pick up steam during the holidays and the new year, it would be Ranveer's third straight failure.

Ranveer Singh plays two roles in the Cirkus film, which Rohit Shetty both produces and directs. In addition to these actors, the movie also stars Siddhartha Jadhav, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Murli Sharma, Sulbha Arya, and Vrajesh Hirjee. Ajay Devgn and Deepika Padukone both make brief appearances. The 1982 movie Angoor, a remake of the 1968 movie Do Dooni Chaar, served as the inspiration for the movie Cirkus. The latter was a remake of the Bengali film Bhranti Bilas from 1963.
