I'm not quite sure when 'The Lunchbox' was released in India. I saw it, last night, in Hong Kong. It was an Indian film without song and dance. It was humorous, it had had pathos. It had the sad but realistic commentary about aging: no one really wants to buy yesterday's lottery ticket. We view ourselves as far more eye appealing, far younger than we are.......May-December relationships that develop through unusual circumstances (i.e. tiffin lunches being delivered from Bandra to Narimen Point continually going to the wrong person - that just doesn't happen). Nonetheless, this was a good film, one that I will go out of my way to purchase a pirate DVD from Chung King Mansions, to watch again with my wife and daughter.
If you are into 'art house' cinema, this is worthwhile to go out of your way to see!
