Stanley studies in an all-boys Holy Family High School in Andheri East, Mumbai. While his class-mates bring their very own Tiffin-boxes, Stanley does not do so on the pretext that his mother is away, and shares food with Aman Mehra and others much to the chagrin of the Hindi Teacher, Babubhai Verma, who not only cajoles fellow-teachers, but virtually forces children, to share their food with him. With extra classes being imposed on both students and teachers, and the recess-breaks being doubled, parents are also forced to pack more food in lunch-boxes. When students evade Babubhai and continue sharing food with Stanley, he calls the latter aside and warns him that he cannot attend school until and unless he brings his own food. Watch what impact this has on Stanley, teachers, and his class-mates.

| User ReviewDeepak RTakes us back to our wonderful school days... |
| User ReviewAjayesh SThis is probably one of the best flicks of the year and it is almost on the same level as Taare Zameen par for its emotional pull/message and cinematic content. I don't want to ruin the movie by adding spoilers so it should suffice, that this is one movie you must watch. Amazing performances by one and all, especially Amole Gupte, Partho and the entire ensemble cast. |
| User ReviewAftab KFive stars aren't enough. This movie is beautiful beyond words. Hats off to Amole Gupte |
| User ReviewYuvnesh MSimply Awesome! Take a bow Amole Gupte... The character, Stanley, tugs at your heartstrings with his indomitable spirit, while warding off the hostile world he is surrounded by at all times, everywhere. The film reveals how this child-soldier, rises above his choking real life situation on the way setting a template for all whiners to learn from and even emulate. |
| User Reviewfamiliar sA movie not to be confused with the problems of a child. It shows that creativity contrasts with the conditions in which a person lives. The characters are wisely chosen and complement each other, even the relation of the school's father with stanley, who knows his living conditions. A must watch for the ones who want to laugh and cry at the same moment. |
| User ReviewSanket SA Must Watch Movie!! Very Much Inspiring! |
