Ajatashatru Lavash Patel heeft zijn hele leven mensen voor de gek gehouden met zijn straatmagie en fakir-stunts in zijn vertrouwde buurtje in Mumbai. Wanneer hij besluit een reis te maken om zijn vader te vinden die hij nooit heeft gekend, wordt hij onverwachts meegesleept in een eindeloos avontuur, met dank aan een IKEA-kast. (Paradiso Films)
(meer)Recensie (2)
An original romantic feel-good comedy that will improve your mood. The story follows a talented Indian fakir who travels to Paris, but spends his first night in an IKEA wardrobe that is shipped across Europe, and this is how a rather adventurous tale begins with the trappings of Europe and refugees. It's a shame that there isn't much humour, but the film is enjoyable to watch, is even suspenseful in places and you root for the protagonist in every convoluted situation. Decent stuff. 65%.

An incredibly nice caress for the soul imbued with the exotic scent of distant India, which put a smile on my face and perfectly improved my mood. I won't go into it further, you can make your own image of it. I simply had a great time and I will gladly return to Fakir again sometime. I must not forget to mention that Dhanush is really likable and the title role suited him perfectly. (90%)
