Onir's film sensitively handles the theme of homosexuality. Karan Johar says, " I AM ... is a very sensitive and engaging collage of four stories woven skillfully by Onir.
Each story plays out effectively on screen to illustrate the fact that cinema is a medium of the heart as much as it is of the mind. Another reason why the film is close to my heart is that my close friend Juhi (Chawla) turns producer with this venture. I AM ... is definitely a film to watch out for!"
The film is a tale of 4 stories woven together that takes audiences through issues and dilemmas that bruise the modern Indian society. The film unfolds many a tale of individuals struggling to find their identity, and uphold their dignity in a world that is callous, cold and unsympathetic.
