In 1947 when the maps of India and Pakistan were being drawn, an oversight ensured that the village of Paglapur didn't find a place in either country. Over 60 years later, Paglapur is isolated, and in need of help. The residents seek help, but as a direct result of being left off the map, they find no one willing to accept Paglapur, and its problems, as their jurisdiction. The villagers decide they need to draw media attention to Paglapur, and in so doing, gain acceptance and help from those who had previously denied them.
Joker is a 2012 Indian comedy-science fiction film about the forgotten village of Paglapur, which was accidentally omitted from the maps of India and Pakistan during Partition. Decades later, the isolated villagers devise an unconventional plan to gain media attention and force the government to recognize their existence. The film blends humor and social commentary as it explores what happens when a place—and its people—are literally erased from official record.
