Joker: Folie à Deux, the eagerly awaited sequel to Todd Phillips’ critically acclaimed Joker (2019), made its Indian debut on October 2. With Academy Award-winner Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as the iconic Joker and pop sensation Lady Gaga joining the cast, expectations were high for the film’s performance in India. However, the initial box office numbers suggest a slower start than anticipated.

- English Net Box Office: ₹ 6.4 Cr
- Day 1: ₹ 5.15 Cr
- Day 2: ₹ 1.25 Cr *
On its opening day, Joker 2 collected ₹5.15 crore, which, while decent, didn’t live up to the hype surrounding the film. More concerning, however, was the sharp dip in earnings on Day 2. The movie managed to collect just ₹1.25 crore on its second day, reflecting a significant 76% drop from Day 1. This steep decline indicates waning interest among Indian audiences, raising questions about the film’s future at the box office.
So far, Joker: Folie à Deux has earned ₹6.4 crore in its first two days in India. Despite the star power of Phoenix and Lady Gaga, the film’s darker, more artistic narrative seems to have limited its appeal to a niche audience in the country. The steep drop in earnings could be a sign of poor word-of-mouth or competition from other releases.
With such a decline in collections, Joker 2 faces an uphill battle in maintaining its presence in Indian cinemas. It remains to be seen if it can recover over the weekend or if it will continue to underperform.
