Joke of a film. Disaster!

Akshay is monotonous and repetitive. Sonakshi gets no scope at all. Also, the spark is missing. While bits and pieces of the first half is tolerable, the film goes completely awry in its post-interval portions. Seriously, what was Kunder thinking while penning and executing this one? (more)

A bad name for Hindi commercial cinema

Akshay Kumar is as good as he can be � and that isn�t all that good. Sonakshi sleepwalks through the film, grinning and frowning as he drowns in the morass. Give Joker a miss if you value your sanity and money.(more)

A vegan family dish. Watch if you can digest well.

Straight up - Joker arouses extreme passions. You'll love it or hate it. It's a totally off-the-wall entertainer powered by corny jokes, off filmi characters and tongue-in-cheek sequences.(more)

A draft comedy

There isn't a single line in Shirish Kunder's Joker that actually works, leaving us with a film that, while commendably brisk in a 100-minute package, refuses to get going at all.(more)

Shirish Kunder treats his audience like fools in 'Joker'

Joker unfolds briskly and predictably. Alas, just as you�re confronted with an unpredictable twist in the tale, the film comes to a screeching halt. Once again, an opportunity wasted. There is no enjoyable circus, far from it.(more)
