Our take

An earnest portrayal of the identity crises plaguing modern urban Indians, I Am holds a mirror to society’s deep-rooted conservative beliefs and hypocrisy. Featuring a notable ensemble cast, Onir’s anthology of stories is brilliantly united through a common theme: how do we deal with fear and pain?
