I Am Kalam is a 2011 Indian Hindi-language drama film produced by the non-governmental charity Smile Foundation and directed by Nila Madhab Panda with cinematography by Mohana Krishna.

This is the story of a boy, Chotu, from a poor family who works as a child labourer at a highway-side cafe (aka dhaba).

Ranvijay's character showcases that money, royal blood, and luxury are a privilege but do not contribute to the happiness and joy childhood demands.

A beautiful character of modern thoughts has been portrayed through Ranavijay, who doesn't believe in the caste system and protests against restricted education for the underprivileged.

Every day, Chotu dreams of wearing a tie and uniform to go to school, just like Rannvijay, as he has an unusual thirst for education and knowledge.

As the story progresses, he meets a foreign woman who tries to convince his mother to let him study as he is a bright kid, but since the family's circumstances aren't in favour, he is denied an education.

[8] Mayank Shekhar of Hindustan Times found the film to be "sweet and engaging" and gave it a rating of 3 out of 5 appreciating its realistic nature.

[9] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 while praising its good intentions and the performances of all actors.
