2. The Lunchbox | Rotten Tomatoes
What to Know. Warm, affectionate, and sweet but not cloying, The Lunchbox is a clever crowd-pleaser from first-time director Ritesh Batra.
Lonely housewife Ila (Nimrat Kaur) decides to try adding some spice to her stale marriage by preparing a special lunch for her neglectful husband. Unfortunately, the delivery goes astray and winds up in the hands of Saajan (Irrfan Khan), an irritable widower. Curious about her husband's lack of response, Ila adds a note to the next day's lunchbox, and thus begins an unusual friendship in which Saajan and Ila can talk about their joys and sorrows without ever meeting in person.

In Mumbai wordt een lunchtrommel met verrukkelijke inhoud per abuis bezorgd aan het bureau van een teruggetrokken weduwnaar met een saaie kantoorbaan. De maaltijd blijkt bereid door een gedesillusioneerde huisvrouw die haar vreemdgaande echtgenoot hoopt terug te winnen met haar kookkunsten. Via briefjes in de trommel beginnen weduwnaar en huisvrouw een correspondentie. Klinkt als het gegeven van een sentimentele romcom, maar dit regiedebuut van de Indiase Ritesh Batra is opvallend subtiel en charmant, mede dankzij de prettige acteurs. Het succes op internationale festivals is begrijpelijk.
