A Slice-of-life movie .. it tells the story
of a former Pakistani singer who is toiling to eke out a decent living in New
York by vending beverages & bagels in a push cart..
Abjuring any cliches or melodrama, this
movie sensitively captures the daily rigours of this widower who is still
haunted by his lost love and is struggling hard everyday to realise his dream
to take the responsibility for his three year old son who is with his in-laws..
The frustrations, aspirations & melancholy of the protaganist are captured authentically .. This gently paced
movie draws you in slowly and gives you an up-close account of a protaganist
who represents a class of people we come across daily and momentarily co-habit
our lives soon to be forgotten till the next momentary meeting..
Poetic, Sad, Authentic & above all
BEAUTIFUL !!!
