The Lunchbox [Sub: Eng]
Lonely housewife Ila (Nimrat Kaur) decides to try adding some spice to her stale marriage by preparing a special lunch for her neglectful husband. A mistaken delivery connects her to an older man in the dusk of his life as they build a fantasy world together through notes in the lunchbox.

This is not a comedy that delivers its humour broadly or a romance that seeks to induce a swoon; it has a restrained, even melancholic tone that dilutes its essential sentimentalism. There's a lot to be said for that.October 16, 2014
The perfect date film, guaranteed.March 27, 2014
Warm, and warmly predictable.July 18, 2014
It dragged for me a tiny bit towards the end but, generally, I really enjoyed it.January 06, 2017
This is a thoughtful little movie, one that benefits from its main performances and a nicely slow building romance.September 10, 2014
Batra allows Ila and Sajaan's relationship to develop slowly and subtly, like an old photograph, and the tender humor adds exactly the right amount of spice to what is already a delicious mix of melancholy and hope.April 03, 2014
A lovely little film from a place where the little things linger.May 11, 2016
Melancholic wit - and a tone of restrained melodrama - is what makes Ritesh Batra's The Lunchbox a small gem.March 27, 2014
"The Lunchbox" is a feast of delights, one of the best stories about the connection between food and love the movies have ever seen.March 28, 2014
"The Lunchbox" doesn't offer easy solutions, but it is filled with keen observations. All meals should be this satisfying.April 09, 2014
There's nothing wildly original here, but it's carried off with charm and wit, and a pair of very enjoyable central performances.March 27, 2014
A pleasure, from the fascinating intricacies of Mumbai-style interlocking lunch containers to the quietly masterful performance of Khan.
