Joker

I recently watched this on Amazon Prime. I wasn't expecting much from this movie but the synopsis given on the site intrigued me: "Mannar (protagonist), a villager, who declares himself as Indian President, protests government for absurdities. On a trial, he reveals his past. When everyone sees him as Joker, audience are questioned at the end".

Now, i'll admit i love myself a satirical movie, one that questions the convention and the authority. But this movie does so much more..

In a little over 2 hours, this movie captures the depravity that a man may be subjugated to, through no fault of his own and how mercilessly helpless we all are against the power of a system.

The sheer brilliance in the acting in this movie, coupled by such a powerful script and such brilliant screenplay; have managed to capture an essence which perhaps was last captured by Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron almost a quarter of a century ago.

I am in awe of this movie; the acting, the simplicity of its characters and the complexity of their emotions. The subliminal messaging and the sharp tongued wit! I would recommend anyone and everyone to watch this movie. The fact that this movie won a national award does not surprise me at all.

An easy 8/10

My expectation of the movie after seeing the trailer was, "not worth my effort to see it". Somehow my friend convinced me and we went as a group of 40 to the theater. In the beginning the movie was funny, the hero was a quirky fool and it was fun to see all that quirkiness. As time goes by Indian political system and how people have changed by it and have turned a blind eye towards basic common sense are shown through sad happenings. Though it was sad, the movie was worth the time I spent there (I hate when any movie goes totally sad). The movie is a good movie that many Indians would like as a group. Children might get uncomfortable and really affected by the sad scenes in the movie

Reflecting Truth: If you want to know the reality and humanity around you .. Watch this

Hello Guys, If you want to know the reality and humanity which is around us in India / your street / next street. Watch this movie.

Magnificent story telling about today state of poverty. where the justice goes for poor people vs mighty.

We are all in selfish life, where we look for our slice of bread (including me), but is this right?.

Only mighty can get it everything. All other people are coming to earth to just die with economic inabilities. I am sure , I am in very self interested society, where always repeating our self as donator for the big NGO's via our company/ some checks.

I think, giving money will not solve the poverty issue in India. We have to give ourself to help our people. Via giving Education/literature, Clean society and dedicated timing.

But what government doing it. You are taking my 30% of the money as incometax, but not doing anything for the society.

I don't need clean road/ biggest infrastructure, WiFi... for the IT guys who is earning lakhs and lakhs of rupees.

Do something to the poor people with my incometax (30%) to the people who doesn't have schools/roads. But school with proper teachers.

They have to come-up and live a normal life. Otherwise India will grow like elephant leg disease. Only one side will live luxury life and other side will die as they born.

Hats off Raju Murugan.

But don't betray me by taking any other bullshit movie due to some commercial Benifits. We need you to take some thing like this movie. I hope definitely you will get some money.

It is also with our people. Never give anything who is doing good for the society. It will go behind, Mass and branding.

For me, you are brand ambassador, because you reflected the truth.

You slapped me at climax. Yes I am Joker.

I am saluting you and the character fight for justice (old man and the group). They given the life to your characters. All are gems in acting.

Jai Hind.
