Shirish Kunder's 'Joker' is an Average effort. A Terrific Idea, that sadly doesn't convert into a Terrific Film.
'Joker' tells the story of a NASA scientist of Indian origin, who returns back to his village & helps the people around him get attention by pulling off silly stints.
'Joker' is strictly an average fare. It doesn't offer anything too good nor is it terrible. Shirish Kunder's Screenplay is so-so, while his Direction is just about passable. Cinematography & Editing are fair. Music by G. V. Prakash Kumar & Gaurav Dagaonkar, is alright.
Performance-Wise: Akshay Kumar delivers sincerely, he never goes over the top & remains true to his character. Sonakshi Sinha gets no scope. Shreyas Talpade speaks gibberish, while Minisha Lamba is hardly there. In the supporting cast, Darshan Jariwala, Pitobash, Asrani & Avatar Gill, are noticeable.
On the whole, 'Joker' needs to be viewed with minimal expectations.
