04/04/2014 I am Kalam is proudful indian film making!!! It is one the best movies ever made on friendship! See more 06/01/2012 Feel-good sugary treatment and earnest acting make this a good watch! See more 01/24/2012 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 ... See more 12/08/2011 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. See more 11/21/2011 innocent movie...rare See more Read all reviews
