About this movie

A mistaken delivery in Mumbai's famously efficient lunchbox delivery system connects a young housewife to an old man in the dusk of his life as they build a fantasy world together through notes in the lunchbox. Gradually, this fantasy threatens to overwhelm their reality. The Lunchbox is the story of the life we dream of versus the life we live in, and of the courage it takes to turn out fantasies into reality. ( - THE LUNCHBOX) ©ARTIFICIAL EYE 2014

Engaging, involving, yet realistic. The backdrop of modern India is not picture-box but completely captivating. The pace is gentle but supremely well-timed.

A really good, unusual, love story that is light hearted, poignant and entertaining. The characters are beautifully acted and the story line keeps you guessing right up until the end. The sub-story with Auntie is a great comic mechanism. A keeper!

An interesting movie with an unexpected ending. It has a different storyline, which makes the movie more fun and gripping because you don't know what to expect at some parts.
