A big smile of a movie!

Smile Foundation’s I Am Kalam, directed by Madhab Nila Panda, is a critically acclaimed and an award-winning entertainer.
Apart from the audience accepting a small film like I Am Kalam it has also received support from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and people all across the fraternity, critics included. Dr Kalam says, “As a child, you never failed to follow your dreams.Why change it now?”
Reviewers are unanimous that the film is a cinematic essay that delivers its essential social message, reinforcing the need to re-evaluate the importance of role models in our societ and is a vibrant depiction of optimism. I Am Kalam is more polished from other children films and finally articulates a near-perfect children's film, with an equal appeal for adults too. And gauging from the word-of-mouth buzz, schools, colleges and corporates are on a block booking spree.
The small-budget film that’s high on intent, has already recovered its cost. The future earnings from the film will be ploughed back to the cause the film propagates, in an entertaining way. Smile Foundation has in a way shown Bollywood how to market film without resorting to big stars and gimmicks. I Am Kalam is already a front runner and strong contender for India’s entry to the Oscars according to film federation members who have seen the film. I Am Kalam is a big smile of a movie. You watch and smile right back.
