Five years after the original film captivated audiences and critics alike, Joker: Folie à Deux seems to have taken a bold new direction that's splitting opinion.

Joker: Folie à Deux takes a different approach compared to its predecessor by incorporating musical elements into its narrative.

Amidst this turmoil, he discovers love and music within himself—a departure from the dark and gritty tone of the first film.
