‘Joker’ is a disaster!

JOKER ranks amongst the biggest disappointments of the year in the international arena. The opening weekend figures are lower than some of the biggest flops in Overseas. The sole market where the film has fared well is Fiji, where mass-friendly films, generally, fare better … SHIRIN FARHAD KI TOH NIKAL PADI remained extremely poor in key markets … Tamil film MUGAMOODI is average in U.K. and U.S.A. … Telugu film SRIMANNARAYANA is dull in U.S.A.

Weekend: August 31 - September 2, 2012.
