I have been to see a film, which I consider to have been one of the best films I have seen lately. An apparently banal story turned into a gem, which has won the Critics Week Viewers choice award and world wide praise, the Lunchbox is a 2013 Indian epistolary-like film, in which an unexpected mix-up on the part of the Mumbai dabbawalas (lunch delivery men) ends up having a lunchbox delivered to the wrong person.
"It is as much a moving film and muted love story as it is an evocative portrayal of loneliness."
"It is pretty much what stays in the mind at the end of a memorable set of Jazzmen - not their lapses but the heights they scale."
"It is ultimately less about love than about the vulnerability relationships place us in emotionally, and the courage required to move past pain, and experience life again after we've been hurt."
"One thing that makes the Lunchbox so strong is that a touch of melancholy hangs over its sweetness. Finally, this is a film about the wheel of life, about what helps us cope with its turns and find our way in its unforgiving labyrinth."
An absolute must.
