(“Great Dreams of Great Dreamers are always transcendent” – APJ Abdul Kalam)
Today’s movie starts with the above inspiring words by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.
Today 15th October’2023 is 92nd birth anniversary (15.10.1931-27.07.2015) of the great son of this soil – Aerospace Scientist and President of India – A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam BR).
Abdul Kalam was born in Rameswaram (Tamilnadu, India). We are all aware of how this great soul started his journey of life and rise to be known as the ‘missile man of India’ with his invaluable contributions he made for the development of ‘space science’ and especially for the ‘development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology’ in our country. He also served as the President of India from 2002 to 2007. He became popular as the ‘People’s President’. Dr Kalam was very fond of children and he always loved to interact with students and spend time with children. He was very keen on shaping the young minds i.e. children and students of this country and he inspired many to achieve their goals in their life.
Dr Kalam remained a bachelor throughout his life. He lived a simple life with integrity and his life has set an example of how great heights can be scaled by a common man with dedication and perseverance and hard work. Religion and Spirituality were very important to him. He has authored several books which are inspiring our new generations and will keep doing so in future too. In 2015 on July’27th when he was delivering a lecture at IIM, Shillong he collapsed and passed away leaving the whole nation in the state of shock and grief. (I still remember that day. I was staying in Nagpur then. It was a very sad day for all).
Today (15 October 2023), on this day, I would like to pay our tributes to Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam here on the blog. For this purpose I was looking for a song and I was going through songs from the movie, that very first come to my mind, ‘Mission Mangal’. However I remember that there was a movie made with the title ‘I Am Kalam’. I was not aware of the story of this movie and had not watched it yet. But when I read about this movie and checked for its songs I decided to present this song which is tailormade for our purpose. The song is picturised showing children school and one by one they are expressing what they want to become in their lives. I think this is the perfect tribute to Dr Kalam. The song is a background song. As mentioned earlier it is from the movie ‘I Am Kalam-2010’.
“I Am Kalam-2010” was directed by Nila Madhab Panda for ‘Smile Foundation Production’. The concept of this movie was also by Nila Madhab Panda. The cast of this movie had Gulshan Grover, debutant Harsh Mayar, Husaan Saad, Pitobash, Beatrice Ordiiex, Namrata Dixit, Garima Bharadwaj, Keshav Sharma, Mina Meer, S.D. Chouhan, Biswajeet Bal, Ashok Joshi, Suresh Acharya, Laxmi (Camel), Rajat Bhalla, Donna Deb and many others. Sanjay Chouhan was the creative producer and writer of this movie. Shantanu Mishra was the producer of this movie. Editing of this movie was done by Prashant Naik.
Here is the brief about this movie as taken from one of the ‘YouTube’ link. I have added the actor’s names to their respective character name in the movie.
Chhotu aka Kalam (Harsh Mayar) is an intelligent boy about 12 years of age from Rajasthan. Born into poverty, he is pawned off by his mother (Mina Meer) to work at a roadside food stall under the somewhat kind owner, Bhati (Gulshan Grover). The mother says repeatedly “School is not in our destiny”. Once, he (Chhotu) sees the then President of India, Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam’s address on television. He learns that Kalam was a poor boy like him, who sold newspapers. Inspired by a message from President Kalam, that anyone can change his or her destiny by education Chhotu starts studying on his own whenever possible. The movie is about how there is no such destiny and such supposed destinies can be changed by one’s own hard work.
I would like to mention here that this movie is a treat to watch. It is shot in Rajasthan and includes the locations such as ‘Karni Mata Temple’, Bikaner, Dhandusar village, Doongargarh and others. It also has a scene at the location of India Gate (Rajpath, New Delhi). This movie is available online and I think people will enjoy this lot. I would also like to request to those who have already watched this movie to share their experience of this movie. ‘I Am Kalam-2010’ received many awards and honours at various film festivals.
“I Am Kalam” has seven soundtracks including two versions of the today’s song. Lyricist Manvendra, Protique Mojoomdar, Kishore, Salil Vaidya, and Shivji Dholi shared the lyrics writing for this movie. Susmit Bose, Abhishek Ray, Papon and Madhuparna composed the songs of this movie. Background music for this movie was composed by Deepak Pandit.
Today we will listen to a song from this movie which is sung by KK & chorus for the main version and Mansi Bharadwaj & chorus for the children version. Lyrics are by Manvendra and music is composed by Abhishek Ray.
Let us listen to this song and have in our thoughts APJ Abdul Kalam – a great human being, a great scientist and a great Teacher!!!
With this post the movie ‘I AM KALAM -2010’ makes its debut on the blog.
