Shaikh as well turns out to be both more and less than what we had initially expected.

Their exchange of notes is so full of deep insight and philosophical reflection on the human condition. Saajan is very off-putting at first, but as we learn more about his past, we see him more sympathetically. We are so drawn to Ila, her anxiety to capture her husband's attentions, and her inner torment as she suspects his infidelity. Like all great movies, this one excels in its story, its characters, and the prowess of the actors who portray them. Meanwhile, Saajan's initial loathing for Shaikh develops into tolerance and eventually friendship. Saajan loves his lunches, and begins corresponding with Ila via notes left in the lunchbox. However, Ila soon realizes that the lunch is going to someone entirely different: Saajan, an office worker who is about to retire and be replaced by a young overeager newbie (Shaikh). Ila is an Indian wife and mother trying desperately to regain her husband's affection by going to great lengths to prepare his daily lunch, which is delivered to his office. It could have dwelt on the organizational prowess of the dabbawalas (Bombay's famed lunch delivery servicemen)īut it did none of the above, and it's a fantastic gem that lingers in your imagination long after you've seen it.It could have had a formulaic conclusion.

There were so many ways this movie could have gone wrong: This is definitely one film that it is worth going out of your way to watch. It is well deserved as films of this quality are rare. Ritesh Batra, the writer and director of the film deserves all the praise that has been heaped on him. The dialogues between Ila and Auntie, and the passing of ingredients between the two, are the kind of lovely touch that makes this not just a good film, but a great film. She doesn't appear on screen once and yet without her the film would just not be the same.

And lets not forget Bharati Achrekar who plays Auntie. A worthy mention also has to go to Nawazuddin Siddiqui who plays his part brilliantly and provides a beautiful counter balance to Irrfan Khan portrayal of Saajan Fernandes. At times it is hard to take your eyes of them as their expressions are saying more than the words. Irrfan Khan plays the lead to perfection, as does Nimrat Kaur. It really is superb writing throughout the whole film. The script is at times witty, poignant at others, whilst at the same time making beautiful user of silence. Everything about the film has an attention to detail that makes the film very watchable. Lunchbox is like the Bollywood version of the very best French film so it was no surprise to see that some of the funding had come from France - and I imagine some of the expertise too.
