The Lunchbox. Awesome recipes do make good movies. And this one was different.
The movie runs high on emotions...feelings of loneliness in life of a man who is on the brink of getting retired...a wife whose husband doesn't have time for her and an orphan who has struggled through his life shuffled through various jobs and countries....
The characters which make the spices of the entire recipe are those which one can relate to in their day to day life. A government claims executive who has worked for 35 years in the same department without committing a single mistake-the character portrayed by Irfan khan.....A wife whose husband doesn't have time to spent with his family-character of Nimrita Kaur and Nawazuddin Siddiqui-an orphan who has struggled to earn a living for himself....
The Lunchbox itself becomes a character in the movie which plays the mediator between the two lead characters. It becomes the chord which relates them. Both the characters wait eagerly for the lunchbox to arrive... so eagerly that at times it becomes difficult for them. For both these characters who are living their lives in loneliness it forms a means to share their feelings and stories with one another........and ultimately it does add taste to their lives.
The movie is probably the best movie of bollywood in recent times.

It is rare for any enthusiast to write a review of the film just after watching the film and don't give away any plot. High marks for that ! The review was good and quite balance one... this movie is my watchlist too...
