I Am is a 2011 Indian anthology film by Onir. It consists of four short films: "Omar", "Afia", "Abhimanyu", and "Megha". Each film shares the common theme of fear and each is also based on real life stories. The film was financed by donations from more than 400 different people around the world, many of whom donated through social networking sites like Facebook. There are four stories but the characters are interwoven with each story. "Abhimanyu" is based on child abuse, "Omar" on gay rights, "Megha" is about Kashmiri Pandits and "Afia" deals with sperm donation. I Am was released with subtitles in all regions as six different languages are spoken in the film: Hindi, English, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali and Kashmiri.

this is my favorite Indian anthology film. it has great music, controversial subject matter with strong narrative, but above all, an amazing cast.

personal highlights:- nandita das contemplating her choice to undergo IVF as she gazes deep in thought on Indian trains- sanjay suri in montage with his suspiciously young lovers and haunted younger selves- radhika apte did such a good job tho- every minute of juhi and manisha on screen- rahul bose and arjun mathur sharing an incredible tender love scene

also realising this is the third time I’ve watched arjun mathur played a gay man..

this will always get 5 stars from me.
