Cirkus Box Office Report
Ranveer Singh's film has failed to perform in Maharashtra, Gujarat, CI and Rajasthan circuits, and the collections were equally poor in the bigger centres. Despite not being a big-budget film, expectations from Cirkus were huge. According to Box Office India, "The film has not even found an audience in Mumbai circuit though Maharashtra is still probably the better performer comparatively across India but still very dull."
Trade reports suggested that the third-day numbers are again low as the film managed to collect around Rs 7.30 crore.
