Its a copy of Godfather, but honestly, director Mahesh Manjrekar doesn't disappoint as he keeps the proceedings fast paced with twists. The series of misunderstandings that takes place between Shruti and Vidyut is shown well. On the flipside, there is lot of violence and blood shed. Also I was not satisfied with the climax and some elements of screenplay, but overall it was a good time pass movie. Vidyut's fight scenes are always good to watch. Shruti Haasan was very good. Pratik Babbar was over the top. Other supporting actors were fine. There is also ex cricketer Salil Ankola playing a henchman. Was surpirsed to see him take such a lousy role. If you like action movies and Vidyut Jamwal, then do watch it.

Anurag Kashyap missed it big time. Be it script, direction, story and editing, the movie sinks in each category. It's only for Saiyami Khers sincere attempt, that one can sit through the film. Rest of the actors leave no impact whatsoever. Their roles are not developed properly. Roshan Mattews character was also not properly written. He was repulsive. Amruta Subhash has overacted a lot. A good actor like Upendra Limaye is wasted in a lousy role. The dialogues are below average. The Background music was really good. Honestly, apart from Saiyami kher and the good background score, there is nothing worth appreciating in this propa-ganda movie. Pl don't waste time in watching it. A big let down.

Joker is a great film! don't miss it guys, has to be seen on the big screen. Its dark, disturbing, directed superbly by Todd Phillips and acted brilliantly by Joaquin Phoenix.

The movie is setup to take place in 1980s, starts off by showing the old Warner Bros Logo which was pretty cool. the production design is first rate with excellent cinematography, every single frame is beautifully shot and a treat to watch. Its a slow burner but not boring at all.

Film is a character study of a person- Arthur Fleck who is battling loneliness, depression, living a life and eventually loses his sanity & goes on to become a criminal mastermind -Joker. The whole story is nicely crafted for the big screen. It completely absorbs & keeps you engaged. Screenwriter has done a fab job. Also the background music is superb..its chilling & perfectly syncs with the dark tone of the movie.

Joaquin Phoneix proves he is one of the greatest actors. He is on par with Sir Daniel Day Lewis. His performance is as good as Heath Ledger although this Joker is different than the one we saw in Dark knight. Both are iconic performances. Just like Ledger, Phoneix deserves an oscar. He has given it all in this movie. There is also the great Robert De Niro who plays Murray, a host of a comedy show. At 77, he is so graceful and has a great screen presence.

There is no CGI/special effects or any prolonged action sequences like we get to see in any DC or Marvel movie. Its not even a thriller. Its a brilliant character study. There is also some gruesome action scenes and some shocking twists.

A must watch for every movie lover. Thankyou Todd Phillips, Joquin Phoenix & team for giving us the best origin story of the most loved and iconic onscreen villian.

Audience was delighted and clapped at the end of the movie!
