MUMBAI: Landmark & Fox Star India hosted the launch of the music album of the upcoming movie Stanley Ka Dabba with Karan Johar, Divya Dutta and Amole Gupte present to grace the occasion, last evening at Landmark, Lower Parel.
About Amole Gupte
â€?A mole Frog’, as his children friends know him for the longest of time has invested the largest part of his life on children’s welfare, theatre and cinema.
A decade in the 90’s was spent in painting and exhibiting. Taking all three arts to the children in the millennium, he pulled out a warm amour in defense of children, namely â€?Taare Zameen Par’. Since then there seems to be a Santa Claus perception about him in the education sector and the social needs sector.
Stanley Ka Dabba is his second cinematic creation, again with a cause where entertainment meets emotional fulfillment.
About the Movie
Imagine this boy in your mind’s eye. He arrives in school much before any of his classmates to drum away his blues on empty benches. He stuffs himself with water instead of the nutritious food that his schoolmates relish during the lunch break. He covers up for his lack of social rank with the finesse of the most seasoned diplomat.
Who is this child? What is he like? Why is he like anything he is? Wouldn’t you like to know? Meet Stanley, the protagonist of the much awaited ‚Stanley Ka Dabba?.
StAnLey Ka DABBA was created with no formal dialogues, allowing children to react to the situations and speak with words they are comfortable with. Real teachers are part of the film, merely being themselves. The film was shot with minimum crew, and equipment in a workshop module, never exceeding 5 hours of shooting a day. The children did not miss a single day of school in the course of filming, and No Sundays were used.
