From the South, there was a magnum opus in the form of Chiranjeevi’s Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy. Still, the Joaquin Phoenix starrer left a mark at the Indian box office by amassing 64 crores net and securing a hit verdict.
Apart from the commercial success, Joker also enjoyed unanimously positive responses from critics, making it one of the most critically acclaimed Hollywood films ever. With such glory in the past, the sequel aims to score big on October 2.
