Stanley ka Dabba- A movie review.

Stanley ka Dabba.

To say that this movie was entertaining would be an understatement. This movie was rocking. Stanley's life is not a life of an average 4th grader. It is beyond that.

On the surface this movie has friendship and relations as its base. Stanley is a kid full of spark and the situations which he and his friends face can be related by anyone who has ever had a good group of friends.  Stanley faces Khadoos. (Amol Gupte) who brings out the jerk qualities in his character so well that one feels absolute hatred for him.  The duality in his personality - as in the difference in what he preaches and what he does himself- was so well portrayed.

The movie is funny while not trying to be one. The jokes are not forced. The climax of this movie is crucial and is handled really well.

Technically too this movie is brilliant. The camera work and use of music /sound is measured and really effective. If you want to watch one movie which is entertaining as well as has its heart in the right place, this would be it. I would say that this is a must watch movie.

A word of caution though.- Dont watch this movie on an empty stomach. It has a lot of food visuals and you will struggle through it.
