Man Push Cart

For a while all that this film shows you is a man pushing his cart around New York city. The daily drudgery of a coffee stall worker in downtown Manhattan is shown through Ahmad (Ahmad Razvi) giving you a feeling that he is alone in a sea of humanity. But no man is an island and slowly, like peeling the layers of an onion his character is revealed. His past is then very artfully exposed by the interactions with his customers and the budding friendships that develop. Rest of the film shows his braves strokes to swim to safety.

One would be tempted to say that Razvi's acting is single dimensional. He looks jaded and numb as his expression never changes for most part. But then watch for that scene which will change your mind.
