Movie Review: Cirkus



Overall, "Cirkus" is a commendable effort, especially given the challenges of filming during the COVID-19 pandemic. The cast, led by Ranveer Singh, Siddarth Jadhav and Sanjay Mishra, does an excellent job bringing the characters to life. However, the lack of opportunity for the talented cast to truly shine is a disappointment.

While the film does inspire a few light moments, it falls short of the laugh riots that we have come to expect from Rohit Shetty movies. As a loose remake of the classic 1982 film "Angoor," "Cirkus" fails to capture the same level of comedic genius.

Despite these flaws, the acting of Jadhav and Mishra is a standout feature of the film. Both actors bring comic timing and a few light moments of authenticity to their roles that elevates the material. It is a shame that the strong cast of the film was not given more opportunities to shine.

In conclusion, while "Cirkus" may not be the funniest film in the Rohit Shetty canon, the performances of Siddarth Jadhav and Sanjay Mishra make it worth watching. The film's admirable motive of keeping the team employed during a difficult time is also a plus.

Pathan Movie Review: A Disappointing Action Flick Focused More on SRK's Abs Than Intrigue

Pathan is an action-thriller movie that had a lot of potential with its star-studded cast and a promising plot. However, the execution of the film leaves a lot to be desired. The film focuses on the story of two spies, played by Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. John Abraham delivers an impressive performance as the ruthless villain, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. Meanwhile, SRK's portrayal of a spy is underwhelming. Instead of portraying a spy, he comes across as a superhero with abs, overshadowing the plot and reducing the spy theme to an afterthought. It seems like the director chose to focus more on showcasing SRK and his physique, rather than building an intriguing spy story. The film features a cameo appearance by Salman Khan, which adds to the star power of the movie. However, his appearance does not have much relevance to the plot, making it more of a distraction than a valuable addition to the story. The stunts and special effects in the film are over-the-top,...

All The Best

Star cast: Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu, Mugdha Godse, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Ashwini Kalsekar and Mukesh Tiwari Director: Rohit Shetty One word: A total time pass flick. All The Best is undoubtedly the most entertaining film amongst the 2009 Diwali releases. Rohit Shetty has yet again got it right when it comes to keeping his audience laughing without resorting below the belt humour and vulgar interludes. Ajay Devgan showcases his improved comic timing and towers above the rest. Dutt too is in top form and entertains. Fardeen is passable. Bipasha and Mugdha don’t have much to do but be a part of the chaos which they do ably. Johnny Lever finally after a long time gets a meaty funny part and he utilizes this opportunity to the maxim. Sanjay Mishra and Ashwini Kalsekar make the proceedings funnier. All the Best is "The Best Movie" in Diwali release.

Is Bollywood Losing its Originality?

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the films coming out of Bollywood. Big-budget films with star-studded casts have become increasingly unpopular. While these films often don't perform well at the box office, many movie buffs are beginning to wonder if the focus on commercial success is taking away from the originality of Bollywood films. Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening in India’s cinematic landscape. What Happened to Creative Storytelling? When it comes to big-budget films, it seems like filmmakers are more concerned with casting A-list actors and producing flashy visuals than telling an engaging story. These films often rely on tried-and-true formulas that may have worked in the past but have become so overused that they feel stale and unoriginal. It’s no wonder that some viewers are growing tired of these cookie cutter movies and longing for something different—something creative and unexpected. How About More Risk Taking? The problem is, taking r...
