Joker (Malayalam) (Comedy Movie ,) Starring |
Review
Bhootakannadi Lohitadas’ maiden directorial venture, heralded the metamorphosis of a scriptwriter into a class director. But
with Joker, his latest movie, Lohitadas has dumped all the hopes he raised.
The audience may lap up Joker. But, the film would have been as good or as bad, if it were directed by anyone other than
Lohitadas.
We don’t need a Lohitadas to tell plainly the story of ups and downs of a circus troupe. The story of Jokeris laced with banal
comical situations, boring romance between two troupe members, a villain to spoil the party, one or two songs here and there and loads
of tears.
Lohitadas fails to lift Joker from comical entertaining level to the aesthetic level of cinema, like his attempt in
Bhootakannadi. A scriptwriter himself, Lohitadas consciously forgets the fact that if the story background doesn’t meaningfully
contribute to the main idea of the movie, it is trite then. The simple fact that the story of Joker could have told in any
other background, a drama troupe for instance, undo Lohitadas’ credibility as a first-rate director.
Considering that Lohitadas directed Joker, it’s a disappointment
