Stanley Ka Dabba getting rave reviews across the board


Very few movies gets a thumbs up from all reviewers. Stanley Ka Dabba seems to be one the very few.

This movie seems like a must watch. Do share you reviews if you have seen it.

Let me warn you that Stanley Ka Dabba is slow. In places, the story seems stretched. The climax is predictable and not entirely convincing. But I recommend that you make time for the film. It has an inherent sweetness and honesty that will stay with you long after the film is over

After writing Taare Zameen Par, he writes and directs Stanley Ka Dabba, another heartwarming film about children just being children, with all their cares and carefree abandon. And adults just being adults, with all their idiosyncrasies, quirks and secret anguish. The beauty of Stanley Ka Dabba lies in its sheer simplicity and authenticity. The film creates a slice of life from the pages of any and every school in big and small town India where kids just want to have fun and teachers want to be the proverbial killjoys. Don't miss this rich and nuanced soul curry for both, the young and adult heart

I'm going with four out of five for director Amole Gupte's Stanley Ka Dabba. This is a film with the perfect ingredients; made with honesty and a touch of innocence. No wonder it leaves you feeling very rewarded.
