"I AM" is a new Indian movie which is completely off beat. Certainly this is not a movie you can watch with family (due to profanity and mature theme involved) but it makes a lot of sense.
"I AM" is actually a collection of 4 characters who behaved or appeared completely out of whack for the society but that's what movie is all about - to explain that - there are always reasons for people to behave "weird"! We get judgemental very quickly without knowing people's life and background. Director was smart to show us that even these 4 characters were judgemental about each other without realizing that how weird they appear to others.
1. Afia (Nandita Das) wants to get her "own baby" and goes to sperm bank. Later we realizes that she wanted it normally via normal marriage but her husband leaves her for other woman leaving her completely shattered!
2. Megha (Juhi Chawla) hells from Kashmir but is a strong women and full of venom against Kashmiri Muslims. Later we learn that actually she is reacting against her family's forced evacuation and assassination. She tries to bury softness of her heart but her heart never gives up to the plight of local Muslims there despite so muchof her own sufferings.
3. Abhimanyu is an extremely manipulative guy who equally manipulate men and women for his own sake. He is a slick talker and an A**H***. But at the end of his story we feel like hugging him after knowing that how he was sexually abused by his step father all along, changing his personality for ever!
4. Omar (Rahul Bose) is a completely unconfidant spineless gay man who is trying to hide his weak personality by growing moustache! His story is the most shocking and really ends movie in climax. Director was able to shock the viewer up to bone. Omar, just few months ago, despite been gay, was a playful, confident and outgoing successful professional who gets trapped into a scam by corrupt police and forcibly robbed not of money but as well of his dignity!
Message is - Don't be judgemental.

i really wanted to watch this movie but for some reason i cant handle profanity.i have not watched a number of films just because of that problem:(
i wish there was a way where the unwanted stuff was like censored out.
They can bleep words but I guess Indians feel they are "cool" by not doing it....some of the dialouges though were needed but were very offensive.
I have a different take on the movie... one may like to read it at http://rohit2093.wordpress.com/2011/05/14/i-am-beautiful/
