Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times A surprisingly delicate, quietly emotional documentary look at the experiences of one Indian family that immigrated to England in the 1960s. Rated: 3.5/5 May 15, 2008 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Despite its rough-hewn technical aspects, "I for India" emerges as a moving portrait of cultural dislocation and the emotional complexities of family dynamics. Dec 5, 2007 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times In I for India Sandhya Suri offers her family's immigrant experience as a springboard for questions of nationality and filial responsibility. Rated: 4/5 Nov 14, 2007 Full Review Aaron Hillis L.A. Weekly Sandhya Suri strikes humanist gold in her feature-filmmaking debut. May 8, 2008 Full Review Michele Kenner Milwaukee Journal Sentinel It's a tale that many immigrant families around the world could tell, but probably without as much documentation. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 4, 2008 Full Review Kent Turner Film-Forward.com The best home movies you'll see. Really. Rated: 4/5 Jan 4, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Even if you move from your home state to another. You can never go back home and sometimes you feel like you belong nowhere. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a very good movie about a family's struggle with leaving their family behind. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a "one of a kind" movie...basically, it is a seventy minute overview of 40 years of home movies between an Indian doctor and his family in England with his family which lives in India. It is very touching, just as you would expect in a situation where family members are separated by many miles. After 17 years in England, the now esteemed doctor returns to India with his family, but by then, they find that they are better suited to live in England. After 9 months, they return to England to stay. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
