'Cirkus' BO day 1: Rohit Shetty's film opens on disastrous note, tough competition from 'Avatar 2'

Rohit Shetty’s ‘Cirkus’, starring Ranveer Singh, failed to make a mark on day one. The audience had high expectations from the film but they seem to be left disappointed.'Cirkus' opened to a low occupancy rate in the morning and afternoon shows and it could barely attract the audience in the evening. According to a Bollywood Hungama report, it has made between Rs 6.35 to Rs 7.35 crore on its first day.

Reports say that this is Rohit Shetty’s worst opening in a decade. Even his last movie ‘Sooryavanshi’ which released in the pandemic made a double-digit opening (Rs 26.29 cr.). Simmba made Rs. 20.72 crore on its first day.

As per reports, it is not just the bad reviews from the critics but also a tough competition from James Cameron’s ‘Avatar: the Way Of Water,’ that has affected the performance of Shetty’s film on the box office.

‘Cirkus’ that shows Ranveer Singh in a double role also stars, Siddhartha Jadhav, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Murli Sharma, Sulbha Arya, and Vrajesh Hirjee, among others. It also has Deepika Padukone in special appearances.
