3.5/5

Despite its rough-hewn technical aspects, "I for India" emerges as a moving portrait of cultural dislocation and the emotional complexities of family dynamics.

It's a tale that many immigrant families around the world could tell, but probably without as much documentation.

A story that any person who leaves their home country for another sometimes better life in another country, can relate to. Even if you move from your home state to another. You can never go back home and sometimes you feel like you belong nowhere.

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.
