The Synopsis:

‘I am Kalam’ is an inspiring tale of a quick-witted boy’s journey to make his impossible vision a reality!!!!

Chotu is a young boy working at a dhaba (Indian roadside eatery), dreams of becoming educated one day and pursue his dream. Once he saw the then president of India, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam addressing on television. He learned that Kalam was a poor boy like him selling newspapers.

Chotu has been sent away by his mother to work and he has no time to go to school. Inspired by a message from President Kalam that anyone can change his or her destiny by education, Chotu starts studying on his own whenever possible. Through a chance encounter, he befriends the local prince and the two secretly spend time together, planning their perfect futures. Both learn about life through the other’s very different experiences.

I Am Kalam, an endeavour in championing the cause of empowering underprivileged children through education. Moreover, the heart warming tale celebrates the survival of the human spirit against overwhelming odds.

Yes. As said earlier in some other thread (here), the Blu-ray was on their cards, and this will be their first BD.
But, this will be in first week on January. More firm news / update to follow..

"Ultra" have few good titles with them, one of them being "Hum Aapke Hain Koun", which I will too personally like to see on BD.

If they're anything like Ultra's DVD's I have no hope. Even staples of Indian cinema like Sholay and HAHK have been treated like dirt in the Ultra DVD versions. If they produce a half-decent BD I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Exactly. They have some good titles, and boast of their authoring facilities, restoration facilities, etc., but their DVDs are pathetic. Like for HAHK, the Ultra's version is heavily cropped. Plus, they have stuffed a 3 Hr.+ long movie with extra features, on a single disc .
Sholay is now with PEN Video. Haven't seen yet. But some one told me that it's better than the Ultra's.

This film was a master piece, a complete family film

This Bluray never released?

There are many good titles on Ultra and after releasing Vivah, I was expecting more Ultra and Rajshri releases like Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun etc. But don't know what made them to back off from Blu-ray business.

Ultra BD quality was good too.
