The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir Movie Review: Dhanush's first English movie in his career is 'The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir'. The movie, which was released in June 2019, is streaming on 'Aha' from today. Based on a French novel, this movie was directed by Ken Scott. Let's see what the story of this movie, which is made in the adventure comedy genre, is.
The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir Movie Story:
Rajkumar and his mother, Saroja, live in a slum area of Mumbai. Rajkumar starts having hallucinations. He realizes that he has no father and that they are inferior. He wants to know who his father is. He also wants to be rich. He grows up thinking about these two things.

He decides to meet his father. He raises the money for this with great difficulty. He goes there with the intention of immersing his mother's ashes in Paris in the presence of his father. What kind of situations will he encounter there? Will his attempt to meet his father be successful? That is the rest of the story.
The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir Movie Analysis:
A young man from a slum area in Mumbai wants to meet his father in Paris. In fact, this seems like an impossible task. However, if you have a strong will, then nothing is impossible. This is the story of a young man's journey to Paris with such a strong will.
The hero in this story has a lot of love for his mother. He also has a desire to know who his father is. He also has a desire to get the girl he likes. All these three aspects touch the emotions of the hero. But it must be said that this content has not been able to connect such a feeling at all.
The hero has thought beyond his level. What obstacles will he face in meeting his father? How will he overcome them? The audience will focus on the issues. However, the entire track is not that interesting. The comedy touch given has not been worked out. The story does not go towards the main topic and wanders somewhere. Due to this, his journey is not extraordinary but silly.
Actors Performance:
There is nothing special to say about Dhanush's performance. He did it according to his character. However, if we look at this story apart from him.. no other strong character is seen. This story runs with weak characters .. diluted scenes. The photography .. background music .. editing are not good.
Conclusion:
The hero has a different intention to leave for Paris. But after going there, he does not have that intention. The director, who has forgotten the real story, takes us along with the hero somewhere and brings us back to the slum area of Mumbai and drops us. I swear no audience does not think, 'I should never do such a journey again, Babai'!
