Tamil Dubbed Version Of Dhanush's Debut International Film Re-releases On This Date
The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir's Tamil-dubbed version is titled Pakkiri.

Dhanush went international in a big way with the Russo Brothers’ action thriller The Gray Man but it was not the actor’s first international film. In 2018, Dhanush starred in his maiden international project, the English film The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, directed by Ken Scott. The movie addresses the topic of global immigration, portraying it positively. Beginning in India, the story follows the central character, Ajatashatru Lavash Patel, as he embarks on a journey to various destinations such as Paris, London, and Libya. Along the way, it highlights the challenges encountered by immigrants worldwide.

Released in France in 2018, it was released in India, the UK, the USA, Canada, Singapore and Malaysia on June 21. 2019. While The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir received positive reviews from all quarters, due to Dhanush’s popularity in the Tamil-speaking diaspora, it was decided to dub the film in Tamil and release it in Tamil Nadu.

The Tamil version, named Pakkiri, was released in cinemas in the first quarter of 2020 but by then the COVID-19 pandemic had already spread worldwide. Due to the lockdown and the strict restrictions imposed upon people, Pakkiri suffered from poor footfall as people did not turn up in theatres to watch movies.

Due to this, Pakkiri is now being re-released in theatres 4 years later, hoping to do better business than the last time. In 2020, Sasikanth’s Y Not Studio released the film. This time AP International is releasing the film. It will hit theatres on March 22.

Recently, Dhanush also enjoyed a re-release of his 2012 film 3, which hit theatres again in November last year. This resurgence represented a notable cultural event as 3 returned to cinemas after over a decade, reigniting the emotions it had evoked twelve years prior. Enthusiastic fans from across the nation flocked to theatres not only to experience its revival but also to reawaken the feelings that the film had stirred over the previous decade.
