While War and Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy are dominating the pan India market, it is Joaquin Phoenix's Joker, which has taken the lead at the Chennai box office. While the other two films raked in Rs 14 lakhs each, Todd Phillips' dark and intense film collected Rs 19 lakhs. Since the film has received reviews unanimously from the cine-goers and critics, we are expecting Joker to remain stable at the ticket windows.

Talking about the film, director Todd Philips recently said, "For us, because of the version of the story we were telling, we tried to make everything -- as weird as it sounds --- make sense. For instance, part of the reason he is a clown is because we thought, 'Why would he put this make-up on when he does eventually become Joker? Why does he even have this make-up? Oh, I know. What if he's a clown in real life?' That led to, 'Well, why is he a clown?' Because his mother always told him he had to bring laughter and joy to the world. Our answers to our own questions began to blend together to become a story."
According to Phillips , the film explores the theme of empathy. "One of the things we wanted to explore with the movie is empathy and, more importantly, the lack of empathy that is present in so much of our world. That's one of the things that we found interesting, and we kind of leave it up to the audience as to how to view that," he said. Anyway, are you planning to watch the film in the coming days?
