Stanley Ka Dabba Reviews
8
This is a film with the perfect ingredients; made with honesty and a touch of innocence. No wonder it leaves you feeling very rewarded.
7
`Stanley Ka Dabba’ is a heart-warmer that wraps itself securely around you, making you wholly unwilling to let it go. And Partho, director Amol Gupte’s son, who plays Stanley, lights up the film. As do his companions.

The best, purest film to come out of Hindi cinema in a while, this. Take a bow, Man With No Tiffin. Take a bow while we take off our hats.
7
Don't miss this rich and nuanced soul curry for both, the young and adult heart.
6
The realism gently, warmly sucks you in. You sit back, sometimes reminisce, mostly observe. The take-home for the viewer is entirely experiential. As with all good experimental films.
7
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.
8
Watch Stanley Ka Dabba as soon as you can. It’ll probably be the best film you’ll be watching for a long time to come.
3
On the whole, Stanley Ka Dabba is a well-made film and well-intentioned too, but its commercial prospects seem to be bleak unless schools prompt their little students to patronise it in a big way.
8
On the whole, STANLEY KA DABBA is a sincere, noble, well-intentioned film that tells a moving story with earnestness. One of the finest films of our times, this emotional journey is a must watch. Thumbs Up!
8
Few films tug your heartstrings like this tale of the eminently likable Stanley. It also marks the fabulous debut of Gupte as a director, a reassuring effort of a man who know exactly what he wants to show and how.
8
STANLEY KA DABBA is absolutely delicious. Make sure you devour it.
7
Stanley Ka Dabba is definitely worth a watch for the simple reason that it has a pure soul. No unnecessary frills added just to increase commercial value of the movie.
Audience Reviews for Stanley Ka Dabba

Do you remember the masterful director Amol Gupte? yes, the director of Taare Zameen Par. And let me report, the director of thatmagical film (which, I believe, was the best Hindi film of 2007) is back with a loud bang, this time with a more intimate tale of a child and his tiffin box. His dabba.
The film, also named 'Stanley's Tiffin Box' for the multiple international screenings, tells a cut-to-cuteness story of a child called Stanley, who is an amusing little child, an apple of the eyes of his English teacher Ms. Rosy, a brilliant student in the class. And the story also features Amol himself as Mr. Verma, a 'khadoos' Hindi teacher who eats the tiffin of each and every child of the school. However, Verma sir has a dislike for Stanley since he doesn't bring his lunch to school. The film ... { Read More0September 15, 19
