Director Amol Gupte is very magical with children. and that is because Amol looks to be as much a psychologist as a moviemaker. after writing 'Tare Zameen Par', he directs and write 'Stanley Ka Dabba', another heartwarming movie about kids just being kids, with all their cares and carefree abandon. and adults just being adults, with all their idiosyncrasies, quirks and secret anguish.
The beauty of the movie lies in its sheer authenticityu and simplicity. the movie creates a slice of life from the pages of any and each school in small and big town in india. where children just want to have fun and teachers want to be the proverbial killjoys. of cource there're some exceptions, such as the famous Miss Rosie played by Divya Dutta who generously sprinkl conversation with terms of endearments and encourage each and every glimpse of creativity in the children. the bigest bugbear however is sir Babu bhai Verma played by the director Amol Gupte who is more intrested in gobbling the children food rather than teaching the subject hindi. Stanley becomes his pet peeve because he never seems to have his dabba, still end up his food with his friends. why? because he is the most famous boy in the class and hid friends simply adore him. needless to say, Stanley missing Dabba becomes a metaphor for his mysterious life..
The other mainpoint are the sterling performances. Almost all the adults have created movie perfect portraits of the several types of teachers all of us have grown up with. but in the end, it is the children who walk away with all the laurels, especially young Partho as Stanley remains with you, long after curtain call.
Don't miss this nuanced and rich soul curry for both, the sdults and the young heart. it's very nice movie to watch.
