A middle-aged apparel shop worker lives a contented life in a crowded ghetto. Over the course of a single day, the man proves himself to be a champion of love and compassion amid local bigotry and division.

Jay Weissberg

Variety

"Nasir" is a superb example of what can be done on a tiny budget when the vision is strong, the script is low-key, and the performers privilege rapport and naturalism over dramatic flourishes.

Quiet gem reveals a deceptively sharp edge.

Next Best Picture

Karthick and Kumar join forces to create a screenplay that, in its own quiet way, illustrates just how powerful "someone random," as Nasir is described in the film, can live an ordinary life yet still make such a difference.

Rated: 7/10

"As it becomes marked by rippling disquiet, Nasir opens up into something far more sobering than merely cinema of the quotidian."
