Must watch Story 1 was okay. A bit feel good type Story 2 was amazing. I always knew about the struggles of kashmiri people but never knew about kashmiri pandits. It was beautiful. I don't know if it had any political agenda though.

Story 3 again was amazing but horrific. Loved it.

Story 4, another masterpiece. Rahul bose is a terrific actor.

Absolutely amazing 4 stories i like the first one and the last my personal favorite! This oind of movie should be made nowadays! This is so underrated ! And yes this movie was more ahead of time then we (Me) thought!

Four very confusing, badly written and badly edited scripts. Throw in badly acted and you have " I Am Rubbish".

I AM was a hard-hitting story filled with compassion, sympathy and trauma. It checks the reality that is prevalent in the society we live in today.

I AM revolves around story of 4 protagonist who lives cross each other in different parts of India. It tells you about each individual dealing with issues and dilemma of life and fighting to survive in the unsympathetic world.

Directed by Onir ( My brother.. Nikhil) takes the courage to divulge into a story which has never been witnessed before on Indian Celluloid. He takes you to the insight of each individual's life who have encountered mental or physical trauma in their past and how are they dealing with them. The story of Afia in Calcutta portrays the life of a common woman being rejected by her husband gives you a sympathetic feelings , story of consequences faced by Megha in her pass is jittery , childhood mental torture of Omar by his step-father is the most disturbing of all and finally the betrayal story of Abhimanyu is shocking . Onir had made in term of direction and has right ingredients to make it big. Screenplay is crispy. Cinematography is ordinary and pale. Music is OK . Dialogues are witty. It is the performances by the lead star cast which makes it worth watching. I would point out that all the leadings actors have done job appropriately.

Overall , a message oriented film which shows the harsh realities existing in the secular state of India. Good 3.5 /5

One of the rare gems from Bollywood, which although did not become popular with the mass media, it received great critical acclaim globally. The four stories that are captured in "I Am" bring out pertinent yet seldom spoken-of issues in modern India through four powerful short stories.

Nandita Das' solemn character in one of the four stories sheds light on the entrenched sociological issue of placing emphasis on a woman's fertility in marriage. The other story on the historical issue of Kashmir does adequate justice to capturing the barbed-wired realities of the valley, especially thanks to Juhi Chawla & Manisha Koirala's performances. Both Rahul Bose and Sanjay Suri's stories perfectly reflect the repressed silent-treatment that the concerns of homosexuality and domestic child abuse have been constitutionally and systematically suppressed by the Indian state and society.

Finally, there are cameo appearances by two stalwart directors of Indian cinema: Anurag Basu and Anurag Kashyap. Overall an intelligent and well-made movie which brings out sociologically troublesome issues and leaves you grappling with questions...
