Kunder's work in Jaanemann to me was impressive, some of the shots in that film were emotionally very touching. But, in Joker.. it appears as if Kunder never made Jaanemann or maybe he got too badly affected by his wife's film 'Tees Maar Khan' and ends up making a film that looks like sequel of that film in terms of torture.

The problem here is, the plot. When you pick such a stupid plot, form a script on a bad plot.. then a screenplay.. you are just building a terrible film nothing else.

Let me just tell few of good points in film.. Chitrangada Singh's item number was lovely to watch in theatre. Though, her dance moves aren't good, plus the choreography was poor, but her screen presence is terrific. That shot where they build a crop circle was good to see visually. Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi share 1-2 good comic scenes between them. Sanjay Mishra and Darshan Jariwala were likeable in few scenes.

There's no point in talking about the performances of lead actors, they get no scope to shine in such a bad film.

Pitobash, Shreyas Talpade and Minnisha Lamba should had simply said 'NO' to Shirish when he offered them this film. Shreyas alien lingo in the film was so irritating.

Except for the Item song, none of the other songs are good to ears, Udit narayan song is decent at best. Also, they are badly used in the narration.


Joker is a film, that I won't like to remember at all.

Verdict : INTOLERABLE
