The movie was literally ahead of it's time. We can't even imagine what pain Sri Raj Kapoor had gone through for the failure of this cult classic.

Once Raj kapoor said that "Bobby" was far worse than "Mera Naam joker" .
He truly said that Indian audience didn't deserve movies like "Mera Naam Joker"

Actually this is a very good film and way ahead of its time I saw it in 6th class and an did not feel bore for whole 4 hours

Honestly i feel Ranbir in some way has received the long  due appreciation of Raj Sir , truly lived up to his legacy and his name Ranbir Raj Kapoor ❤

I do believe mera naam joker was a masterpiece as work of art.

RK sahab was just ahead of his time🙏🏻❤️

I am from Arunachal Pradesh. My grandfather was an MLA back in the 1980s. Raj Kapoor Sahab visited Arunachal Pradesh in July 1987, the same year when Arunachal first celebrated its Statehood Day. Although it was not an official public visit of Raj Sahab, he had informed the higher authorities about it. My grandfather, being a huge fan of Raj Sahab, assisted him throughout his three-day visit to Arunachal. Grandpa told me that when he asked Raj Sahab about his biggest inspiration, he mentioned "Charlie Chaplin." Besides this, he also shared with my grandpa that he loved reading comics since his childhood. When "Mera Naam Joker" faced a flop, Raj Sahab locked himself in his room and read comics to deal with that depression. My father, who was 7 years old at that time, saw Raj Sahab for the first time and Raj sahab immediately asked him to do "salam karo." In return, Raj Sahab gave him some toffees. He was not only a great actor but also a kind person.
Forever the greatest showman of Indian Cinema. I really wish I could have met him.❤

Man, I watched this movie for the first time a few months ago, and it totally blew me away. I usually never cry at movies, but this movie made me cry. Now I understand why people call him The Greatest ShowMan of India.

Dear Raj Kapoor Sahab,
I'm speechless in front of you. You are a Greatest Actor, Greatest Director. Your movies are not movies.. They are ART.
You are Phenomenal 🙏

I watched this movie when I was in class 5 in 2011, I cried for the first time watching a movie . Indian audience dont support ambitious projects even now, This film was great

We have a fairly backward audience, heavily exposed to the commercial cinema.

Mera Naam joker had done very good business in Overseas market including Latin America,Middle east,Iran and Istrel besides USSR.RK had edited this film to 3 hours.Later on it had grabbed patrons.Randheer Kapoor had told in TV interview that Mera Naam joker was highest profitable film produced by RK though it was flopped in the begging.

Actually film had the same fate what its story was nobody accept the normal good (joker) everybody wants a glittery good (star)

I still can't believe mera naam joker was a flop.

Yes, this movie was a way ahead of its time
People make movies now with chapters and reverse screenplay

Some scenes of movies back then was more bold than movies nowadays lol .

Also you miss out an important fact that when the movie released after 6 years delay, Rajesh Khanna was ruling the box office with runaway romantic hits. The audience may not have been in mood to like a 4 hour tragedy

My grandfather made me watch this movie when I was younger. Feels nostalgic in a way.

RK was a true Person. Today every star is a bit artifical. Stars like him, like Mohammed Rafi or Mahmud don't exist in modern India. 😢
