Critics thrash Joker, washout at the box office

After Players, Tezz and Department, Joker is likely to be the 4th major disaster of the year. The film is an absolute washout on Day 1. The morning shows, as we reported earlier, were as low as 10-15% at places. Infact, a few exhibitors have reported that some shows were cancelled due to very low occupancy.

The film picked up slightly for the noon/evening shows, but the collections remained low. The mass centres have performed slightly better due to the presence of Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha.

The biggest cause of worry though, is the negative word-of-mouth. The critics have absolutely thrashed the film. On our review scale – we currently have 11 critic reviews – not a single positive review, 2 average and 9 negative.

The writing is on the wall for Joker. The target audience – children and family – is the only glimmer of hope as they venture out to watch films on Saturday and Sundays.

Joker is also likely to be the first commercial failure for Sonakshi Sinha, whose first two films Dabangg and Rowdy Rathore were ‘Blockbusters’.

  • I don’t know why akki signed for shirish kunder specially when considering his bad record
    And one thing more after blockbusters housefull 2 and RR although he had signed much before
    He shut’nt take any risk wid that asshole
    Sorry to say that u r not salman who did anything crappy(ready,bdygrd.ETT) and amasses 100 crores
    U have a different fan following and don’t disappoint them…
    Ur 2007 era is back akki bt next time don’t take any craps like this

  • @rowdy786 u say srk is big marketing for his film like raone whatever he du but he has power to hit his crap movie (in ur opanion) and put both movies 100 cr club ra1 with marketing and don2 without marketing if akshay has power he done it joker is open with 10 to 15 % bcoz of srk sleped shirish and alian go marketing for srk’s home hehehehe

  • @indicine. Why is that some of my comments which are less derogatory and less insulting than some others comments are still “under moderation/construction”? . Does indicine have any bias towards srk?

  • That Saky 2 guy is a big salman & hrithik hater.I have
    seen he spreads hatress across the artical of either
    salman or hrithik.Srk fans this is is rowdy from you.
    People like him just spreads hatress they are no ones
    fan Request to all srk fans please kick him out.else it
    could end up being a another fanwars which has taken
    a backseat now.

  • @H7YRBKJ
    Dude There is nothing biased towards srk or against any one
    here @indicine. Its just trying shows what is publics perception of a
    on going movie.I believe even akshay fans didn’t like Joker.A bad movie is always a bad movies no matter who stars in that.You are doing good job @indicine.Please Continue the same efforts in future also.

  • @saky dude stop dragging Hrithik names here.
    U sometimes bark against Salman also.Fine if you
    hate them but either changes your perception or
    remain silence.

  • Its only Akshay kumar mistake to work with a moron like Sirish kunder who scripted Tees Maar Khan & directed a landmark JAANEMANN..

  • @marz. Wow!its a Great news. “Yashji slapping srk” but really not a suprise at all, as all were expecting it to happen. Just imagine how much ur dumper star srk frustuated and irritated yashji( even at this age), that he had to slap him so hard. And srk cant even say or do anything about it except apologizing to yashji. Its time srk learns something or else one day even his ”special live-in boy friend” karan jho would slap him in front of his other “live-in boy friends” like arjun rampal and manish malhotra.

  • Best songs,best movie,best drection of 2012 to janat 2.
    Emran is the best actor.
    Janat 2>>>>>>>>>ETT
    JANAT 2>>>>>>>ra 1
    janat 2>>>>>>dabang bodygad bitterguard

  • movie ka naam hi kafi h review k liye..all d makers r jokers..n who went to watch it …they r also jokers …thank god ki muvy 1.45 hr ki h…tahnx for dis mercy…ab kuch v keh lo script acchi h nhi par…star power kuch nhi kr saka…only sk cn do this…

  • @emran . ‘Jannat 2’ would definitely be much better than ‘mannat’ house owner srk’s next. And not to forget emraan hashmi is the real king of ”physical romance” and not this srk. I will be really suprised if srk’s next movie becomes a superhit but jannat 2 will definitely be a superhit.

  • @NVS how cheap hijr@ you are? You failed to quarrel with Marz then u starting SRK by using Marz name !! You akshay fans always abusing by using otherz name when failed about a discussion :D

  • @rajib. So now officially u have become the third biggest hijr@ in the world after srk and marz. Congratulations. Srk will always be on top of this ‘elite hijr@ list’ but the competition is only between u & marz to decide who is the second biggest.
    Dont behave like a saint, it was marz and u who started it all against me, and whatever abuses i have learnt they are all from some srk fans. So shut up and dont goat stammer here.

  • we all akki fans were expecting this so therefore we don’t feel sad, for all lalu khan’s fans! this collection is still not bad if we compare it with Min. Or Mrs Khan. So don’t bark

  • @rajib. For your kind information i am a fan of every actor except srk, and i support every actor and their fans except srk fans. And i will defend against every actor and their fans except the ‘biggest goat stammerer in the world’

  • @raghav n someone..its my personal opinion about hrithik n i m not abusing him just comparing him with akki and u cant change my opinion about the fact that akki much better than hrithik and also i dont hate salman…

  • @ NVS who is hijr@ and who is not dat was not da topic :D i think you are not shit checker coz there 1st you bring this word. Main discussion is closed coz you cant deliver any genious reply to Marz bhai :D you always try2 call a new topic or start personal attack when u dont find anything to tell against SRK fans. NVS GROW UP GROW UP :P

  • @saky
    Dude After goin through ur many comments I got that you are
    more a Hrithik hater than a srk fan.U have commented more
    on HR then the latter on the wrong side.I wouldn’t have commented you but watching ur many comments thats like you
    are keep saying agneepath is sanjay dutt movies.dude dutt guy
    is nothing today either in mass or class.no one 1 watches his
    movies nowadays.agree that he did a good job but he was hardly there for 20-25 minutes.Hrithik was brilliant in that movie.My only
    reason for putting Hrithik ahead of akshay is simply because of BO
    & Fan following,BO wise Hrithik is far ahead.The day akshay will give more BB & Atleast 1 highest grosser movie of the year I will
    put akshay ahead than him.BTW u r probably not a akshay fan but a Srk one than go defend ur star.I know that I can’t change ur perception towards someone but ll try to say you that just don’t drag someone because the only reason is you just hate him.BTW
    hating is not good for ur health.

    Best of luck for Srk next…

  • @nishad 69. Thank you for accepting that you r a real hijr@. Then openly say about it, why are u hiding ur ‘true’ identity.no one will say anything to you. By the way Do you know what is ‘angle 69’ in erotic movies? And dont try to be a saint or a gentleman, i said this before also, i always adopt the no first use policy and check all my comments, if ever i have abused anyone personally, its only after someone first abused me, including u and i only replied in my own befitting way. “I am good to those who are good to me but i am the worst for those who are bad to me”. Now you stop this goat stammering, it’s becoming irritating here.
