User review:

What every child should try to become like… like the lead character of this mighty film, Chottu aka Kalam. His wonderful journey from a poor family’s breadwinner to his dream. Set in Rajasthan, the language is both pure Hindi & Rajasthani!

Captured in 100 minutes, with absolute plot & characterization, I Am Kalam proves to be so aesthetically & emotionally receptive, that you can easily connect with the film. The Delhi-boy Harsh Mayar is genuine, good & has acted well. His royal friend Hassan Saad is good, too. Supporting cast including Gulshan Gover (who has revamped his style) & Pritobash is cool & effective.

Direction, music & editing is average. With a fabulous plot with smallest of the small details taken care of, I Am Kalam is a must-watch.

BOTTOM LINE: You will cry, think & empathize after watching this small piece of cinema marvel.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
