Directed by Amole Gupte, Stanley Ka Dabba is a heartfelt, innocent and emotional story about a child named Stanley. The movie provides a refreshing look into the psychology of children and the challenges they face.

Stanley, played by cute Partho, is a normal kid, who loves going to school, play with his friends and just be a kid. But for some reason, he never brings a tiffin from home, something that’s very odd for a kid his age. Life takes a turn for worse when the Hindi Teacher, played by Amole Gupte, who loves to eat students’ lunch, forces Stanley to get his own tiffin. The story behind the hidden life of Stanley is what follows.

Amole Gupte was the brain behind Taare Zameen Par and he even directed a large chunk of it, before walking out of the project. With Stanley Ka Dabba, he has proved his strength on stories with kids as protagonists. He has also penned the story of this movie.

Beauty of this movie lies in the simplicity and originality of the characters. The children act and talk so normally that they will remind you of your own children, siblings or classmates. Adult characters have their own quirks, but they are also as normal as the person sitting next to you. So, we have some very cute scenes where children are looking to have a good time, but teachers, just like mos Indian teachers, prove to be complete killjoys. You can honestly feel the emotions of the characters, because you’ve gone through them yourself at some point of your life.

Performances are also exceptional. Director has been able to extract some great performances from all the children, who are not actually professional child actors. Partho, who is the only professional child actor in the movie, has also done a brilliant job. Divya Dutta, who plays Miss Rosie, Partho’s teacher, brings all the quirks of a school teacher in her performance.

But the biggest pull of the movie is Sir Babubhai Verma, played by Amole Gupte. He is the kind of teacher who spends more time terrorizing his students and eating their lunch, than teaching Hindi. Partho becomes his pet peeve because he never brings a tiffin from home and eats from his friends tiffin everyday. In a way, the director has used Stanley’s missing Dabba as a symbol of his mysterious life.

Watch Stanley Ka Dabba for the sheer simplicity and beautiful emotions. It will transport you back to your school days, when “what’s in your lunch box?” was the most important topic of the day.

Minissha Lamba recently caught eye balls with her catwalk on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, last week. She was invited to attend the premiere of Midnight in Paris, which is a Woody Allen’s latest movie. She was also invited to a post premiere party.

However, while returning from her first international exposure event, she got into quite a trouble with the customs department at Mumbai airport.

Apparently, the Bollywood actress had more than Rs. 50 lakh worth of undeclared jewellery in her luggage. 26 year old actress arrived at the airport by Emirates flight and was trying to leave the airport through the green channel; however, customs authority official intercepted her.

One of the officials, who checked her luggage and found the undeclared jewellery said, “The actress was carrying gold bangles, necklace, earrings and other gold and diamond jewellery in the bag. We are questioning the actress, who tried to evade customs duty by not declaring the goods.”

She was later released by the authorities after paying due duties and fine. However, this was not the only problem that Minnisha had to face the past week. Apparently, her bag was also stolen during her visit France. She broke this news to her fans via twitter. She said, “Disaster has struck. A baggage of mine has been stolen at Nice Airport. I can’t believe something like this has happened.”

Minnisha added, “Even with two CCTV cameras right over the baggage, police or airline still won’t confirm if it was ‘stolen’ or ‘misplaced’ (sic).”

Minnisha debuted in critically acclaimed movie Yahaan and recently got a lot of praise for her role in Corporate and Boman Irani’s Well Done Abba.

She was in France to attend the premiere of Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. Lamba was also invited for a bash post the screening.

Delhi Belly, Imran Khan’s next is one of the most talked about movies this season. It’s first trailer was unveiled for few media houses a few days ago. The poster of the movie is also doing the rounds on the internet and has created quite a buzz.

Produced by superstar Aamir Khan, Delhi Belly is said to be a mature subject, with steamy scenes, and characters saying “blow job” featured in the first promo itself. The movie has received A certificate due to the mature nature of the content.

Talking to media, Aamir Khan said, “Delhi Belly is a comic caper targeted at a young audience. People who can’t identify with disrespectful and unclean language ought to stay away from it. It’s an adult film. When we went to the Censors, we approached them for an A-certificate.”

Aamir Khan insisted that Censor Board liked the movie a lot and they didn’t cut any scenes from the movie. It will be releasing on July 1st. Director Abhinav Deo is extremely happy about the movie getting all the attention in its initial stages only and hopes to keep the hype up till the release.

Aamir Khan added, “My films had normally been family films or they had a social message. This is our first film which is certainly not for children because it has obscene language. We applied for adult certification for the film and we have got that. It’s not even for those who have reservations about curse words. I myself don’t use such words or language, but it fits the script. It’s a very irreverent film, but it has humour in it.”

Delhi Belly also has comedian Vir Das and Rang De Basanti famed Kunal Roy Kapoor in lead roles. When asked about director Abhinay Deo, Aamir Khan said, “I had seen Abhinay’s ads. So I was really impressed with his work. Abhinay liked the script and that’s how Abhinay came on board.”

He added, “As a producer I am very happy the way Abhinay has made the film, showed humour and made it more exciting. I think he has fully justified the faith we had in him.”

Aamir Khan said that he wanted to play a more prominent role in Delhi Belly. He said, “I was dying to do a role in this film. I regret that I didn’t work as an actor in this film. I wanted to do the role of Kunal Roy Kapoor. But the character is supposed to be fat and sloppy. I just didn’t want to put on weight as I have worked very hard to lose it.”
