Cirkus box office collections Day 4: Rohit Shetty-Ranveer Singh's comedy of errors fails the Monday litmus test with a 60% drop

The film failed to even touch the Rs. 25 crore mark at the domestic market.

On Monday, Cirkus suffered greatly as revenue fell by over 60% to Rs. 2.75 crore nett. The carryover releases did well on Monday, even though it wasn't a holiday, because the period between Christmas and New Year's is a favourable one for commerce, nevertheless, these collections appeared. The holdovers that were issued on Monday either increased from Friday or remained at the same level, whereas Cirkus experienced a significant decline as a result of its rejection.

The movie's four-day earnings are Rs. 23.50 crore nett, and if it doesn't stay at these levels after Monday's significant decline, it may end up with a first week gross of little more than 30 crore nett. But none of that really matters because it has no impact on how the movie turns out.

In Maharashtra, the movie is performing better than it is across the rest of the nation. Gujarat/Saurashtra is a complete surprise because it has poor collections despite the fact that the genre usually does well there.

Following are Cirkus' four-day collections:

Friday: Rs. 6.50 crore

Saturday: Rs. 6.25 crore

Sunday: Rs. 8 crore

Monday: Rs. 2.75 crore

TOTAL: Rs. 23.50 crore

Rohit Shetty is the director and producer of the period comedy Cirkus. T-Series and Rohit Shetty Productionz collaborated to produce the movie. Ranveer Singh, and Varun Sharma play dual characters in the movie, while Pooja Hegde and Jacqueline Fernandez play the female leads.

In this movie, Dr. Roy Jamnadas mixes up two sets of identical twins after discovering them on the doorstep of his orphanage and gives them up for adoption to two separate families in two different cities. Years later, when one set of twins decides to visit the city where the other set of twins operates a circus, locals mistake them for the other set of twins, and a comedy of errors ensues.

Cirkus is an adaptation of The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare.
