Why watch this film?

They say the shortest way to the heart is through the stomach. A story that has been told many times on the big screen, but 'Lunchbox' brings a new twist to the same adage. Mumbai, where the story takes place, adds an interesting flavor to the film. It's a great movie, veering away from popular Indian cinema, resulting in a light, beautiful, and surprising production- all the more so when we think it was director Ritesh Batra's first feature length film.
