Dhanush shows off his amazing dance moves in the song Madaari from The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir

Dhanush is a very big name down South and has also made a mark in Bollywood with films like Raanjhanaa and Shamitabh. He is now all set to make his international debut with the film The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir. The trailer of the movie had impressed one and all. A few days ago, the makers released the first song of the film titled Angrezi Luv Shuv and now, they have launched the second track titled Madaari.

Madaari is composed by Amit Trivedi and sung by Vishal Dadlani and Nikhita Gandhi. It’s a peppy number and Dhanush’s amazing dance moves are the highlight of the song. The song also features Oscar-nominated actress, Berenice Bejo and Dhanush taught her a few typical Bollywood dance steps which we can see in the track.


The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir is based on the book by Romain Puértolas. The basic plot of the film is about an Indian street magician's journey to Paris and how he gets into all the trouble. The movie deals with the problems of refugees across the world but it has been shown in a light-hearted manner.

Talking about the film’s storyline, Dhanush had earlier said, “We have dealt with the issue of immigration in a very positive way in the film. It may or may not make a difference but that was not the only intention to make the film. Primarily, it is a film, a journey of Ajatashatru and how that is intertwined with global immigration.”

Directed by Ken Scott, The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir is slated to hit the screens in India, USA, Canada, UK, Singapore, and Malaysia on June 21, 2019. The movie has already received a great response at the international film festivals, now let’s see what response it gets after its theatrical release.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.
