Cirkus
2022’s period comedy hit by Rohit Shetty is streaming on OTT in February.

While the box office numbers don’t have much to show for it, Cirkus is the perfect watch for movie fans who love Rohit Shetty and Ranveer Singh. The movie is crazy – it tells the story of two sets of identical twins who were estranged at birth but meet when they are adults. The movie is set in the Golmaal universe, possibly before the events of Golmaal Again. Pooja Hegde, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Varun Sharma are superb in supporting roles.
