Main Aisa Hi Hoon (Template:Translation) is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Harry Baweja starring Ajay Devgn, Sushmita Sen, Esha and Anupam Kher. The film is a remake of the American drama film I Am Sam.[1]
Plot
Indraneel "Neel" Mohan Thakur (Ajay Devgn), a man who has autism, works as a waiter in a coffee shop while he raises his daughter Gungun (Rucha Vaidya) as a single parent. Gungun loves him very much and, in an attempt to remain at his level, refuses to go to school.
Gungun's mother, Maya Trivedi (Esha), came into Neel's life when she needed someone desperately. After giving birth to her, she disappeared, never to be seen again. For seven years, Neel has looked after the child, and both are happy together. However, Maya's father, Dayanath Trivedi (Anupam Kher), comes to India for his granddaughter.
On Gungun's birthday, Neel has a surprise party for her. Gungun is upset and leaves. Taking advantage of Gungun leaving her house, Dayanath gives Neel a court notice and soon takes Neel to court. With the help of the townspeople, Neel is introduced to Niti Khanna (Sushmita Sen), a lawyer and single mother dealing with her own problems. Her son, Rahul, won't listen to her. Niti initially doesn't agree to represent Neel, but when Rahul meets Neel and becomes his friend, Niti realizes that she should help him. A custody battle ensues. It is found out that Maya was on drugs and died because of it, which is why she didn't return to her father or Neel. When the case is nearing completion and Dayanath's has almost won, Niti decides to marry Neel. After a fifteen-minute recess, Niti presents the marriage papers to the judge, and the latter declares that Gungun will be in the custody of Neel and Niti. Gungun accepts Niti as her mother and Rahul as her brother. Dayanath regrets being mean to Neel and accepts him as his son-in-law before flying back to London.

Reception
Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1.5 out of 5, writing, "On the whole, MAIN AISA HI HOON could've been an engaging saga, but it runs out of steam in the post-interval portions."[2] Patcy N of Rediff.com criticised the writing and performance of Devgan. She further wrote, "Overall, the movie is not worth watching. And you don't even have to wait till its unbelievable end to realise that!"[3] Kaveree Bamzai of India Today wrote, "Why Harry Baweja decided to adapt it (a polite term for a virtual rip-off) will remain one of life's mysteries. Perhaps it was to display Ajay Devgan's acting chops or his cleaned-up teeth. Both are worthy of praise but at the cost of many tortuous tear jerking scenes and silly songs.[4]
