Plot: Stanley is a fourth grader who is very popular amongst his friends. He is talented and is liked by his teachers. However, he never brings his lunch box or 'dabba'. 'Khadoos', as he is popularly called, is a Hindi teacher who does not bring his own dabba but likes to eat other's lunch. Stanley's friends share their lunch with him by hiding from Khadoos. Khadoos eventually finds them in the terrace and warns Stanley to bring his own lunch or otherwise avoid coming to school. Stanley misses school for a few days and his absence is felt by his teachers and school mates. But one fine day, Stanley brings his dabba packed with mouth-watering items for Khadoos. Khadoos realises his mistake and quits the school. Meanwhile, Stanley's performance in an inter-school festival is appreciated by everybody. Towards the end, the reasons for Stanley's lack of a dabba is revealed.
Interesting facts: The film was made on a very low budget. After the success of Taare Zameen Par Amole Gupte wanted to make a small, non-mainstream film. He borrowed money from friends and began shooting with a five man crew in a Mumbai school. The crew shot during four hour workshops every Saturday for a year and a half to capture all the scenes they needed. Shot using a Canon EOS 7D, the film utilised 170 child actors in total. After the film was completed, Gupte showed it to Karan Johar and he helped him to sign a distribution deal with Fox Star Studios.
