Story of The Film :
In 1947 when the maps of India and Pakistan were being drawn, an oversight ensured that the village of Paglapur didn’t find a place in either country. The village had the distinction of housing the largest mental asylum in the region and in the mêlée that ensued during partition, the asylum inmates broke loose, drove away the villagers and established their own republic in Paglapur. And that’s how it stayed for the next 60 years! While the world outside changed, Paglapur remained isolated, with no electricity, television or sanity. Now, decades after the world forgot this village, a NASA scientist of Indian origin, Agastya and his beautiful wife find themselves on the road to Paglapur. Agastya is working on a top secret project for creating a device to communicate with aliens. So why is he in a village whose colorful inhabitants include a man who speaks in gibberish, another who thinks he is a lamp post and everyone else who think Mahatma Gandhi is still around, fighting for …

Joker Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Negative from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 2.4 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 5079.
i just watched the movie yesterday night and was surprised how the movie was not at all as bad as everyone is reviewing it…
its a simple story of how one person tries to get his village noticed and on the map of India so that there problems can be solved… and the best way they come up is to show that there are extra-territorial activities happening in their area… so that everyone takes notice of their small village..
though the start of the movie does look bad, boring and slow.. it picks up the pace after mins or so and you actually start enjoying the movie..
my advice to all would be at least give it a shot and find out for yourself how the movie is actually…
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 1 star out of 5 Star.
