Guys movie is funny watch it yourself. I must say I enjoyed it a lot, Movie holds the interest right till the end and loved the characters played. There are very few jokes that you wont feel laughing too but that doesn't spoil the taste of this movie.I have watched the movie first and then read the critics review don't know whats wrong with them but movie does deserve far better positive review.Its a family movie with a message, the village name is pagalpur you cant just ignore that, Shirish Kunder has certainly thought the movie through to the end, Darshan Jariwala and Asrani is hilarious I am not sure if you would like Shreyas Talpade much but he did have to say lot in the movie.If you ignore the critics this time you will have your time spend well watching this movie. Enjoy
... View MoreJoker is definitely a better movie than what reviewers and critics have been portraying it on various websites and newspapers. Also shame on the lead actor (Akshay) who did not promote this movie as I feel 'Joker' is 10 times better than craps like 'Tees Mar Khan' and 'Houseful 2'. This is a no non-sense movie with simple story, simple characters and simple dialogues. Music and cinematography are good. I quite enjoyed the 'Kafirana' and 'Sing Raja' songs – very energetic. Acting by all the actors is good. Do not expect a thought-provoking movie. Also if you are expecting a sci-fi alien invasion movie then Joker is definitely not for you. The story is a bit similar to 'Swades' starring Sharukh Khan but here the characters and overall theme is light-hearted and simple.I think Shirish Kunder did a good job, looks like this guy is going through an unlucky phase of his career. I am giving it 7 / 10 and a must watch if you like clean and light movies.
... View MoreJoker, the name itself is a joke. When I had first seen the trailers and heard about the movie, I knew that it would not be worth it. Still after 'Rowdy Rathore', expectations were semi-high from its Jodi of Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha. Moreover, I had faith in its director Shirish Kunder after he delivered good movie like 'Jaan-E-Mann'. But alas his Joker is not even an inch closer to this expectation. This famous editor has proved that he can over-do himself as a director. Nightmare! The story-line is very lame.Here Akshay Kumar plays Agastya (please don't think of Jaan-E-Mann) a dedicated NASA scientist and Sonakshi Sinha plays Manali, his good-looking, understanding life-partner. Agastya returns to India and visits his homeland 'Paglapur' with Manali after hearing his dad breathing his last breath. He is utterly shocked by the downtrodden condition of Paglapur and then finds out that his dad's illness was just a fluke to get him back home and do something worthwhile to give a new lease of life to the ever neglected mad place. Apparently, the village has lost its identity ever since a Britisher forgot to place Paglapur on the Indian map. So, the administrators are also clueless as to under whose jurisdiction Paglapur exists. This situation has made the place remain devoid of the basic amenities like electricity, water which is why the inhabitants are going eccentric. In the meantime, Agastya emerges as the savior to improve Paglapur by re-gaining its electricity and water supply. He chalks out an absurd plan to grab attention of media followed by the administrators, and eventually the scientists from USA. However, here I find it interesting that how Akki decorates this scheme by dressing up few villagers with finely-cut vegetables to make them pose as 'aliens' in front of the whole bunch of reporters, all just to garner curiosity and make Paglapur the prime place in news. Eventually chaos occurs but of course the unexpected happens and Paglapur gets the due it long deserved. It's to be mentioned that alien's dancing in Bollywood style in the end of the movie left everybody in awe with a smile on their face (at least). Otherwise throughout the movie I kept looking for a single moment where I could go on smiling, if not laughing. Akshay Kumar's acting failed to impress because of Kunder's blunder direction. Sonakshi Sinha hardly has any role (ornamental purpose). Shreyas Talpade only kept on gibbering 'Kalaa Kalaa Guss Guss' which becomes irritating as the movie proceeds and so are the other villagers. The only 'feel-good' and energetic factor in the movie is when the dusky beauty Chitrangada Singh oozes out the hotness in the item number titled Kafirana. After a thorough analysis all I wonder if Kunder deserves another slap. A box office oriented slap (remember SRK slapping him at Sanjay Dutt's party early this year)? Well, let the viewers decide.
... View MoreWell here in this movie we can see that there was a certain base in the story, as shirish kunder decide to move ahead a level after tees maar khan, as the story(or whatever it is) proceeds we saw some guy dressed as a pumpkin and some halo-ween costumes and yes some hoax created about the aliens. yes this movie does not worth to be a movie in any sense, there are lame jokes, bad acting, poor akshay had gotten one chance to save his downfall after rowdy rathore, this will surely give him a downfall and a very big one too. about sonakshi i would say, people want to see something more please do something other than falling in love with the hero. rest i'll give it 1 star.
