Do Dooni Char (transl. Two twos are four) is a 1968 Bollywood musical, which is a remake of the 1963 Bengali film Bhranti Bilas based on the 1869 play of the same name by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar which was loosely based on William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors.[1][2] The movie was remade by Gulzar as Angoor[3][4] and was again adapted by Rohit Shetty as Cirkus.
