This sequel to the 2019 masterpiece should never have been made. Joker is one of the best movies ever made and the only comic book movie to win best actor at the Oscars. But with this "sequel" they completely destroyed what they had built 5 years ago and they seem to have forgotten the personality of the comic book character itself who's one of the most iconic villains of the action comics genre. They should present this movie with a special Oscar for "Worst sequel ever made". I wasted my money and weekend over this, and I had been looking forward to watch it ever since it was announced. The enormous number of bad reviews this movie had received was hard to believe until I watched it and now I add to that number with this review.

A near 3 hour melodrama with aging actors playing young men, a messed up storyline, and then we have Indian actors wearing blonde wigs and makeup to play Britishers. How this movie became a blockbuster is beyond me. It has to rank among the most overrated Bollywood movies of all time.
