Last
week’s
Hollywood
release

Joker
Folie
a
Deux

has
turned
out
to
be
a
dud
at
the
Indian
box
office.

Worldwide
too,
the
film’s
performance
is
average.

The
film
released
on
the
Gandhi
Jayanti
holiday,
and
did
get
that
benefit,
as
it
opened
reasonably
well
at
premium
multiplexes.
The
opening
day
contributed
to
almost
50
percent
of
its
extended
five
day
weekend.
The
film
has
just
about
managed
to
cross
the
Rs
12
crore
(Rs
120
million)
mark
and
that’s
too
low
for
a
biggie
like
this.

The


poor
reviews

did
not
help
either.

The
first
instalment
of

Joker

in
2019
had
collected
Rs
20.50
crore
(Rs
205
million)
at
the
Indian
box
office.
Now,
the
sequel
will
end
up
under
Rs
20
crore
(Rs
200
million).


Joker
Folie
a
Deux

barely
saw
any
promotion
and
marketing,
and
has
come
and
gone
without
a
whimper.

Devara
,
on
the
other
hand,
saw
a
fair
second
weekend
in
the
Hindi
version.

Rs
10
crore
(Rs
100
million)
were
accumulated,
taking
the
final
score
to
Rs
58
crore
(Rs
580
million).
A
lifetime
total
in
the
vicinity
of
Rs
65
crore
(Rs
650
million)
is
expected.

That’s
a
decent
enough
total,
since
not
too
many
films
are
doing
well
these
days.

All
eyes
are
now
on
the
Diwali
releases

Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
3

and

Singham
Again
.
