Is there any child in India if given an opportunity to say I AM KALAM will not be proud to say it. It will be a Honor for a child to say something like that. Not only that the above sentence has such a depth in its meaning that it brings joyful tears when you understand its importance that too when it comes from the soul of an underprivileged poor kid like Harsh Mayar who calls himself as I Am Kalam in the movie. Its an inspirational and heart touching movie both for kids and adults and overall for all those who dream big and live the life in the same way as they dreamt. Story revolves around a kid fondly called as Chhotu, uneducated but intelligent from a small village whose mother brings him to his uncle Bhati (Gulshan Gover), who owned a dhaba. Chhotu with very little time wins heart of customers, tourist merely by his Golden Smile and wit. In the mean time he starts pouring water and nurture an impossible dream of being educated. And got inspired by the Great former President of India Mr. Honourable APJ Abdul Kalam whom he saw on TV, by then he idolizes him. He also finds a good friend named Ranvijay ( Husaan Saad) a rich prince who shares his books with him. And get the attention from a foreign tourist named Lucy ( Beatrice Ordeix) who promises to take him to Delhi and get him admitted into a school. Debutant director Nila Madhab Panda has beautifully portrayed the story with little bit sense of humor here and then to hold the audience at there seat. Though story is predictable but stories like slum-dog becoming a millionaire is what every poor kid in India dream of, so this story comes very close to people of India where 75%people live in villages. And this movie successfully captures the Rajastan's culture which is less seen in bollywood movies. Finally credit must go to director and Harsh justifies why he had been given National award and bollywood got one more gem in the name of Harsh after Darsheel from Taare Zameen par. I will go with 8.5 out of 10. Reviewed on Friday , Aug 5/2011. -Sky Treasure

I am Kalam, follows the story of a boy - living in poverty, having to work at a dhaba to make ends meet and support his mother. But this is no ordinary boy. He is brilliant and ambitious. He cannot go to school due to his limited means, but that does not stop him from dreaming big and continuously working towards that dream. His passion further fuelled by a speech of then-Indian-president, Abdul Kalam. How the entire world around him comes together to get him there, is what the film is about. Shot in picturesque Rajasthan and with a strong support cast in Gulshan Grover, I am Kalam is a movie that inspires. Do watch.

Best movie about dreams, friendship, love. Simple story but the best. Everyone should watch this movie.

I used to watch slow or good movies. But Seen the movie by seeing the imdb rating. Disappointed by its directing and poor acting and dialogue delivery. Movie sucks.

Well the movie has something in it. It may start without a hope and continues as a normal routine but the way the child strives to fight his destiny with hope and hard work will never be calculated. People who recognize the talent and can do much to help this kid reminds us a current society we are living in. The child being truthful ready to take responsibility for his actions not neglecting his passion and hard work to get a hold on education reminded me of how unlucky most kids are in the third world countries this is not a lesson to kids but a realization for all the elders that he can be a successful person not materialistic wealth wise but he will achieve what he loves. A small note : the letter which was addressed to Kalam in the climax was simple but full of words that can get through anyone.

Nila Madhab Panda's 'I Am Kalam' tells the inspiring tale of an impoverished boy, Kalam, forced by circumstances, to work at a local tea shop owned by Bhatti. Kalam looks at life with a pinch of salt and optimism. He's a fast learner and befriends the customers. His dream is to wear a school uniform and tie and go to school. This dream seems to come close to becoming true when he befriends a young prince but trouble soon follows Kalam. 'I Am Kalam' has both a fairy tale feel and a feel of realness. It is the director's splendid fusion of the two that makes this little film a magical experience. The direction, the score and Sanjay Chauhan's writing are quite simple yet sincere and the story is very easy to relate to. It also has a very lyrical feel to it. The score is mostly a combination of simple sound created with simple instruments (with the exception of the traditional Rajasthani song that takes place in the palace) but it's mesmerizing and among the best I've heard in recent times. The cinematography effectively captures the beauty of Rajathan and the art direction is pleasantly colourful and authentic. The performances are outstanding. Gulshan Grover delivers one of his finest to date. The rest of the supporting performances by Pitobash, Beatrice Ordeix and especially Hussan Saad are excellent. However, where acting is concerned, the most outstanding performance comes from Harsh Mayar. Extracting a good performance from a child couldn't have been easy but Panda has done it and Mayar delivers one of the most natural performances on screen. 'I Am Kalam' is light and optimistic. It carries the simple message that every single child must be educated and deserves the right to live like a child. The film never preaches this but merely demonstrates it through the story. There is not a single melodramatic moment for it is evident that 'I Am Kalam' comes straight from the heart. Simple, Sincere, Uplifting, Inspiring and Spellbinding are at least five words to describe this precious little gem.

Tonight, I attended a screening of I AM KALAM, starring Gulshan Grover, along with a superb cast. It is a charming story that speaks to the truth that one's life is guided much more by one's actions than by a predetermined destiny...The main setting, at a roadside snack stand near Delhi is, at once, mundane and exotic, as the workers and foreign visitors interact on a daily basis. And, glimpses inside the private quarters of a royal family are nothing less than eye candy for viewers. The meat of the story derives from the delightful performances of Mr. Grover and the charming young actor who plays Kalam with fearless truthfulness. Even Laxmi, the camel, draws us in with her gentle ways. As of this writing, the film lacks a US distribution company...some smart executive should pick it up and get it to American audiences!
