Stanley Ka Dabba

An appreciation of whole crew of the film makers.

          Stanley ka Dabba is joint effort of bollywood and theaterplay directored 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 keeep 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 labour a lot of students can not complete their homeworks, 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 begining 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.

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 labouring in India.
