Exciting news for Joker fans in India. The highly awaited sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, will be arriving in Indian cinemas two days earlier than the rest of the world. The film is set to release in October, and on Wednesday, the makers announced the Indian release date along with two stunning new posters.

The newly released posters feature Joaquin Phoenix as the iconic Joker and Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. Warner Bros India shared the posters on their X handle, revealing that Joker: Folie à Deux will hit Indian theatres on Wednesday, October 2, ahead of its US release on October 4.

Directed by Todd Phillips, the film stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in the lead roles, alongside Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, and Zazie Beetz in significant roles.

Set two years after the events of the 2019 blockbuster Joker, Folie à Deux follows Arthur Fleck, who is now a patient at Arkham State Hospital. There, he falls in love with a music therapist named Lee, and together, they delve into a world of musical fantasies. Meanwhile, Arthur’s followers begin a movement to free him.

The original Joker film, set in 1981, depicted Arthur Fleck as a failed clown and struggling stand-up comedian in Gotham City. As his mental state deteriorates, a violent uprising begins in his name, aiming to establish a new societal order. The film, co-written by Todd Phillips and Scott Silver, was a massive success, grossing over $1 billion worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.

Now, with Joker: Folie à Deux, fans can look forward to diving back into Arthur Fleck’s chaotic world, with the added allure of an earlier release in India.
