$\'Joker\' fails to impress, earns Rs 5 cr on day 1$

Akshay Kumar\'s absence from the promotion of \'Joker\' is reflecting in its collection now.

He adds, "#Joker *Australia* Thu A$ 4,317, Fri A$ 12,884. Total: A$ 17,201 ... *New Zealand* Thu NZ$ 1,480, Fri NZ$ 6,303. Total: NZ$ 7,783. Poor."

Most of the critics have felt that the film doesn't satisfy the expectation level of the audiences. Some went on to term it as the torture of the senses.

Akshay Kumar is among one of the bankable actors on the box office, so the film's bad performance can harm his prestige also.
