About
The Lunchbox (2013) is Ritesh Batra's acclaimed debut feature starring Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur. A Mumbai dabba (lunchbox) is delivered to the wrong office, sparking a written correspondence between a lonely widow and a middle-aged widower preparing to retire. A tender, melancholy love story that became an international art house sensation — screened at Cannes and winning the Critics Week Grand Prix. The film showed Irrfan Khan's extraordinary subtlety as a film actor.
