 The third part simply disintegrated, partly under the weight of dated songs (composed over the five years or so that Kapoor took to make the film) that did not fit into the plot either. Not that there was anything of a plot left. Any pretence to the film being an allegorical autobiography had vanished by now. Did the disjointed sequences of this part allude to any part of Kapoor's real life? Had he ever lived with a cross-dressing female (played by Padmini, who was no longer young by then) whose gender he discovered by a dramatic accident?

 The soundtrack of ''' Mera Naam Joker ''' was the first Indian film score to be released as a double album. While the songs were popular as singles, music lovers felt that there were not enough songs to merit a double album. As a result the double album was not a commercial success, though the film’s songs released as singles and in other formats were.
