==Reception==

===Critical response===
The film has received mixed reviews. Isha Arora of ''TIMC'' giving seven stars out of ten to the film says
"Surapur's directorial is a well-thought and shot movie and the brilliant performances by the two lead actors will win everyone's heart. We wish that The Fakir of Venice could have been released on the silver screen, much sooner but it's definitely worth a watch."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theindianmoviechannel.com/silver-screen-reviews/the-fakir-of-venice-movie-review-not-your-typical-bollywood-flick-0008550.html|title=The Fakir of Venice Movie Review: Not your typical Bollywood flick!|website =The India Movie Channel|access-date=2 February 2019}}</ref> Reza Noorani of [[The Times of India]] rates the film two and half out of five stars and writes "While the first half meanders and stretches on, it is in the second half when the film finds its groove. At 1 hour and 38 minutes, the film still feels a bit long. Had the makers worked on the screenplay and made it a tad more complex, it would have been a great film on how, people from different classes, connect with each other and posed bigger questions on mortality and the nature of death. But it falls short of that and ends up being a weak, sideshow at some European art fair.""<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/the-fakir-of-venice/movie-review/67875277.cms|title=THE FAKIR OF VENICE MOVIE REVIEW {{!}} TIMES OF INDIA|date=7 February 2019|access-date=9 February 2019|website=Times of India}}</ref>
