“An art gallery in venice has come up with a novel idea n is attracting huge crowds. People r here to watch an indian fakir, whos fully immersed in sand, with only his hands sticking out. But who exactly is this fakir? Is he a sage? Whys he so eager to bury himself? Does he wish to die? Whos the man who brought him from mumbai to venice? Good performances by akhtar n kapoor, an interesting narrative n a short running time, r the plus points of #TheFakirOfVenice. Watch it. Rating 3/5.”
