The advance of of Cirkus failed to get much momentum on the final day as it pretty much finished in that expecetd range of Bhediya and Raksha Bandhan as far as national chains go. It is 20-25% better at some of the non nationals than Bhediya but in the larger picture that hardly makes much difference. Raksha Bandhan was a holiday so some of the smaller chains did well especially ones with larger presence in Gujarat and Delhi / UP.

The film is totally dependent on how it goes in current but there has to be some good movement tomorrow as the film carries much higher expectations than the likes of Bhediya and Raksha Bandhan. The cast of Cirkus may not be bigger but because of the director the film has expecatations.. 

The advances below tell a sorry picture and advances are actually opening 7-8 days before release when there is limited demand. This will have to change very soon, The top advances at national chains for original Hindi content for the first day in 2022 are as follows.
