Man push cart is a movie of pain and realism. People hardly watch such movies now a days and find them boring because they are sick of their real life miseries and always looking for an escape in commercial and fantasy cinema. Here in this movie you will not see any of it but only your hard facts of life in a real type movie. This is even a very different genre in movies in my personal opinion and why is that? There is no such plot in the movie. It's a naked glance on the life of our 'hero' Ahmad in this portrayal. Anyone going to watch this movie should not expect a plot here but a true slap on our cruel world of the poor. A look on poor.

This movie will hold you as long as its running and you can guess that by the reviews of the people here who even grade this movie bellow or equal to 3 and didn't liked it but still made it till the end. So it's a catchy movie which will keeps you on the seat till the end with a lot of curiosity that what will happen to Ahmad. There's pain in this movie and a lot of it. While watching this drama I really felt bad for the guy. He was taking a whole world of pain, agony, hopelessness, suffering, in his soul and you will definitely feel it while watching. And this makes it a beauty to watch and a 'job done'.

This movie could have been much better as mentioned by few reviewers here. Yeah few things would have been great, if added. The first thing, the music! As it's a movie of a singer who's fighting the hard facts of life and at times fall in the memories of his glorious past as a singer so more good music should have been added to the scenes (though the sound track used in the movie is amazingly catchy and honestly as much sad as our hero in the movie is) but still a little glance on his past life as a singer would worked. But as we believe its not a commercial movie but just a portrayal of a character in his current situation so that might be the reason. The second thing 'to do' should have been the ending of the movie. Even if it's a movie of realism there should be a spoken message for the audience as not many of the viewers will understand such endings where you leave the viewer with a loads of pain and misery that what happened to our guy? Artistically it's a perfect ending as it gives you an intellectual perspective but as I said that gotta be for the limited class and not for the whole audience.

Over all it's a type of a movie that if you don't like you would just call it a trash but if you like it then you would love it. I loved it!
