Joker: Folie a Deux — Where a clown is an epitome of evil

Todd Phillips's Joker which hit theatres five years ago was a largely appreciated spin on the DC Comics ‘bad man’ with actor Joaquin Phoenix as Pagliacci Arthur Fleck in the costume of a clown. But beneath it lay a vicious rogue.Now, we have a sequel, Joker: Folie a Deux, which though is not as gripping as the first outing.

Maharaj: More melodrama, less period-drama

Maharaj marks the debut film of Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid Khan, and is ‘supposedly’ based on the Maharaj Libel case of 1862, which proved to be a landmark judgement in legal history and changed the religious fabric of the country significantly.
