The Lunchbox

Our Sunday late brunch starts with the Indian box-office phenomenon The Lunchbox, One of the best reviewed films to come from South Asia, this critical darling tells the tale of how a food delivery mix-up surprisingly kick starts a surreptitious strong friendship between a lonely housewife (Nimrat Kaur) and an aging office worker (Irrfan Khan). Writing wistful comforting notes to each other over unassumingly fabulous midday meals, eggplants and chili peppers never looked so enticing in Ritesh Batra’s romantic debut film.
