Audience Member I am Kalam is proudful indian film making!!! It is one the best movies ever made on friendship! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Feel-good sugary treatment and earnest acting make this a good watch! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This would have been an awesome indie flick if it wasn't for the extremely cheesy Bollywoodish finale ...! Having said that the offbeat story, the amazing performances from both the kids and the colors of Rajistan made it a great watch ... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A well directed emotional story of poverty, struggle and lost innocence which is unfortunately a reality for thousands of children across our country. Has an inspirational ending but not before making your eyes wet a few times. Great Film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member innocent movie...rare Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
