This is the sort of movie that they don't make anymore, the kind you remember as a child, where everyone is bigger and grander than in real life, where magic can take place, where romance can sweep the globe, and love conquers all. I haven't enjoyed a film so much in years.

I had high expectations for The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, although I haven't read the book.

After watching he Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, I asked myself, what makes a good movie? Somehow the "there" wasn't there in he Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir. The parts of the movie were radiant but I had trouble being engaged by it. Which made me think, what makes a decent movie worth watching?

I enjoyed the scenes in India and IKEA, kind of a juxtoposition.

IMDb states that "Behind the scenes clips of the movie being filmed appear during the closing credits." I saw he Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir on TV but the closing credits were just that, closing credits. Maybe I had the misfortune of seeing the alternate version.

Maybe he Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir could be rebooted by an Indian director please with Danny Dyer playing the role that Ben Miller did.

I am not well aquainted with indian movies,so i have hardly nothing to compare with, i thought slumdog millionaire were a splendid movie, so were this one to. it has a humble humour all throughout the whole story,with witt and practical jokes spread out over a wast area of the planet. there are basically no violence or swearing,just some magical petty crimes here and there. the acting are great,so are also the music and colourfullness of the environment with great variety of locations and people. poverty is sieged by guts and willingness to wish for a better destiny. a practical serendipitous feature for the one who loves to love and share the love with everybody. i liked this feature from start to end,defdinately recommendable...
