Joker (2012) (Hindi Movie / Bollywood Film / Indian Cinema DVD)

Description

Agastya is a space scientist, working on the development of a communication system, to communicate with aliens. But Agastya loses the faith of his seniors and is allotted with a deadline of one month to conclude his project with some substantial results. In the mean time Agastya is informed by his girlfriend Diva (Sonakshi Sinha) about his father's illness. On hearing this they both reaches his native village Paglaapur, whose colorful inhabitants include a man who speaks in gibberish, another who thinks he is a lamp post and everyone else who think that the World War II is still going on. Soon after reaching there, Agastya finds that he was called on a false pretext of illness by his father. On getting apprised about truth, Agastya decides to move back to US, but after hearing the plight of the inhabitants of Paglapur, due to the brushing aside of the village by the government because of its being absent from the demarcated map of India, he makes his mind to come out with some solution for the problem. As the story proceeds, Agastya comes up with a quaint idea pertaining to the crop circle and arrival of aliens in his village, in order to fetch a recognition for his otherwise isolated village undergoing a plight of neglect ever since the independence. With frames moving ahead, Agastya along with other villagers creates crop circle in Paglapur and spreads rumor about arrival of aliens in the village. And from there, amid tremendous media hype, takes over some hilarious sequences knitted around UFO and fictitious man made aliens. Review: Very funny - Love the movie! Totally unexpected storyline and surprises. Not a typical Bollywood movie but love it. I wish the color were a bit better. Too dainty. Review: I laughed so much watching this. - I do not watch a lot of Bollywood films, but do pick one from time to time. Going into this one, I was expecting "stupid humor" like in "Dude, Where's My Car?" and this did not disappoint. I think I laughed out loud around 6 or 7 times. And I really enjoyed the pacing of the film. It never drags, and it never feels rushed. This is an accomplishment for a movie that is over an hour and a half long. My only critique to the negative would be that the dancing wasn't up to par when compared to a lot of Bollywood films; however it still wasn't bad. I would recommend this movie to anyone who just wants something fun to watch. Just know going in that it is not high brow humour, but silly humor. I think if you know what you are getting yourself into, you can appreciate it as such. If you do not like those kind of movies, do not watch.
