Appu Raja
Clowns + Furries
For anyone who ever considered running away to join the circus, watch this movie and reconsider your options.
The main character is a homicidal circus dwarf who commits his first murder with the aid of an overly complicated Rube Goldberg device. Hint: if a midget lures you into a dark room filled with a funny contraption, don't just stand there and watch as the marble triggers the jack-in-the-box which pops the ballon which sends a wheel going somewhere. It ended with two arrows and a giant club. There was also a brick, a bowling ball, and a set of bowling pins. One person calls this "Death by WTF."
The first half hour shows Dad's death followed by Mom being forced to drink cobra venom. Mom gives birth to twin boys. The Bad Guys continue to chase Mom and somehow, there's an explosion. Mom thinks one son is dead. A random woman passing by rescues one son and believes the other son is dead along with Mom. Yes, this is another siblings-separated-at-birth story.
A half hour later, the plot gets to the circus and then things get weird. The boys are now adults. One leverages his small size into work as a circus clown. Then Mom tells him about the cobra venom. The dwarf gets dumped by a girl. This sends the dwarf into a sort of insane rage. He goes on a mission to kill everyone associated with his father's death. Each murder has to be bizarre in some way. The guy is just creepy. Somehow, everyone is reunited at the circus.
It's one actor playing both brothers. When portraying the dwarf, I think the actor was walking on his knees.
The 'furry' sub-plot is fairly minor. At one point, the non-dwarf brother does a song & dance in a lion costume. He dances with a lamb. They almost kiss but this is a Bollywood movie. Kissing isn't allowed. The lion's mother yanks the lion's tail to pull him away and prevent a kiss.
