An Open Letter to Amole Gupte,Hey Amole,
From your films and works, it seems you love kids and working with kids, I am amazed by your writing skills for children films, congo.
Yesterday, went through the experience watching your directorial debut – Stanley Ka Dabba. And wow, whatta experience it was. Though, one cant restrain himself from comparing it to your previous work as creative director – Taare Zameen Par. Many expressions, many moments are as same to TZP, and why not both have same genre and hence it is meant to be. Nevertheless, the movie conveys what it wants to and that too quite strongly, so kudos.
You as director are surely a treat to watch but more fascinating is your work as actor, you rock as Babu Verma. Completely convincing, expressive and comfortable. Loved it. Your son, Partho, is also too comfortable, expressive and convincing, most effectively, sweet too. Though in sweetness factor, Divya Dutta beats you two, convey my congo to her. J Don’t know what was Raj Jutsi’s role in the film. Anyways, he is a good actor and it’s always good to watch him. Rest of the students and faculties were fine too.
Music is in rhythm to the film. Though not that much impressive.
The film would be a treat for film lovers, but regular audience would find it to be a bit less entertaining (read boring here) and a bit low paced. May be that’s why you had some creative differences with Aamir Khan, anyway it happens. Even Aamir Khan’s production house says it - (sh)it happens!!
Over all, 3 cheers for the film.
Regards,
A film fan – the 70mm rancho – Hardik Raychanda
ya 3 cheers are perfect for this film,
