The consensus among critics is that "Joker" falls short as a comedy and struggles to maintain viewer interest throughout its duration, making it a less recommended watch within Akshay Kumar’s filmography. Despite the negative reception, some audiences found occasional humor in its absurd moments, but these instances were generally insufficient to redeem the overall experience.
