Dilwale vs Cirkus...

So I watched Cirkus today....and I loved it....I  loved Dilwale too...

But the similarities between the 2 movies were astounding........First of all the cute little town....out of a fairy tale....the green tea gardens.....the cute roads......

The almost same supporting star cast....damn even their styles were almost same...like the way Sanjay Misra spoke......

The small time comical gang of villains...villains kam...comedians jyada...just like DW had..

How Rohit Shetty paid more attention to the supporting cast.....they were funny though..just like in Dilwale...

Loved the comedy....it was OTT in some places like in DW....

Now why DW made 150 + crores while it had competition with another overhyped movie...BM....and had shitty reviews like Cirkus had.......why it didn't burn to ashes like Cirkus did.....despite Cirkus had an open run....it was the stardom of SRK....SRK made a bad movie of Shetty a semi-hit unlike Ranveer whose stardom couldn't save Cirkus from crashing and burning and turning into a disaster...

I am not mocking Veeru at all because I didn't give him credit for BM's success....I don't blame him for Cirkus debacle...

Well SRK/DW were mocked like no tomorrow......but a same kind of movie with much higher ticket prices ...a bigger release (DW had to share screens)....at the same Christmas time....same celebrated director....turned into disaster...

The difference is Circus came post pandemic and audiences have become ruthless these days .a bad product gets rejected from the trailer itself

But but but SRK must retire so our Baba can rightfully take over BW!!!

😭

exactly, audience has become much more picky. No Srk, salman or Amir can make a movie hit now just by their presence. 

Cirkus didn't have good promotion, plus it looked bad from trailers. Audience had rejected it even before it released.

Pathaan wasn't Great film and still it worked big time. 

visuals and music attracted the audience, circus looked shit from promos. 
Of course Srk has star power and fan following, but I am saying is even he or any other khan can't just ride in their star power any longer. They have to deliver at least 60%
