Satyamaditya Yadav Stanley Ka Dabba is joint effort of Bollywood and Theaterplay directed by Amole Gupte, who is also the creative director of a serious movie about children Tare Jameen Par.Stanly Ka Dabba is a movie about a fourth standard school going boy who never brings Dabba (Lunch box) for recess. There was a Hindi Teacher Babubhai Verma (also known as Khadoos by students) who also never brings Dabba for lunch time and always peeking in others lunch box. In recess all students eat their lunch and they also share their lunch with Stanley because Stanley is master in story telling, all boys love to listen his stories, because his stories are too creative and funny. Somehow Babubhai attracted to students lunch box and keep sharing with them, when he used to eat students's lunch Stanley always get hungry so the students always runs far away from Babubhai. One day Babubhai caught them and shout on Stanley and said without Dabba no school. Later tragedy makes movie very emotional and reveals the truth of being hungry in recess of Stanley, It is really a very important issue that due to child labor a lot of students can not complete their home-works, projects and some other activities, specially the students like Stanely who works in hotel or other places who even don't have mother and father.Stanely Ka Dabba looks very funny in the beginning but it reveals the real motive of the movie in the last 20 minutes. The director, editor and script writer had successfully managed the suspense and they reveals it at the very perfect time so the film really touches the everyone's heart. Even I get a lots of droplets of tears in my eyes. Worth to watch.Amol Gupte is director, creative director, producer and also a actor as Babubhai Verma in this movie. The role of Stanley Fernandez is played by the son of Amole Gupte, Partho Gupte. In the last movie shows that the movie was made on Saturdays and holidays only, having 2 recess in total five hours also tells about child laboring in India.

Sonia A perfect family movie with a moral and lots of suspense as to what actually Stanley is hiding and where is the lunch box coming from? The movie keeps you hooked till the end because of the suspense and fabulous acting by the lead role kid and the teacher who hogs food from student's lunch box in the break. He starts developing hatred towards the kid because he thinks that kid is having his share of food and his friends are supporting him. The teachers Mrs.Iyer and Rosy have done a great job. I was longing to see this kind of movie since taare zameen par. I would rate 9/10 for this movie and the way it ended. Worth watching with the whole family especially the kids will love it.

Swarup Bose I really liked the plot of the movie, although it reminded me of my school day's."Stanley" character played by "partho gupte" was awesome. Super like the movie and the character played by "Amole Gupte" was marvelous. The film depicts a close relationship of those "child laborer", whose parent's are no more. The film story in beginning can't be predicted to be so emotional in the end.I hoped that film could have better ending, i was waiting to see more. All part played by the character's in the movie was excellent.I wish to see the character "Khasdoos" played by amole gupte at the end.Still the movie did well as the movie "Stanley ka Dabba" won my heart.

namashi_1 'Stanley Ka Dabba' is a GEM of a film. Writer-Producer-Director-Actor-Cinematographer, Amole Gupte, makes a film, that is soft, simple & seamless. It doesn't have superstars, it doesn't have chart-buster songs, it doesn't have stunning locales to boast....but what it has...is a Big Heart! 'Stanley Ka Dabba' is a nearly flawless film about a child, who comes to school without a Dabba. And as he can't get a Dabba, a greedy school teacher, who hogs from every Dabba in the school, kicks him out of the school. It's then Stanley's journey to get to back to school, with a Dabba! 'Stanley Ka Dabba' is one of the most moving, well-written & well-executed films in the past 5 years. It has a story to tell, it has it's heart at the very right place. Amole Gupte is truly a supremely talented personality. 'TZP', was a fabulous film, but 'Stanley Ka Dabba' is a nearly flawless cinema. Apart from it's slow-pace in the beginning, I found everything, in terms of writing, direction, acting, cinematography as well as the editing, to be super.The Soundtrack is decent. Performance-Wise: Gupte, steals the show with a fascinating performance. He plays the greedy teacher, with perfect understanding and rare ease. Partho, who plays Stanley, is very sincere. Divvya Dutta is good. Raj Zutshi & all the other actors who portray the roles of the teachers, are first-rate.On the whole, 'Stanley Ka Dabba' is amongst the best films in the past 5 years, as it has story to tell, which is simple, seamless & very interesting too. Don't Miss This One!
