Amazing movie. Wonderful mix of humor and melancholy. Great slow storytelling. Fantastic actors. Not for everyone, but a 9/10 for me.

What a (bitter)sweet film. I love how auntie has just been this voice from above. Hilarious. I love the parallels. The fly, the fans… And gosh the food looks incredibly good. Wish I could have tasted it myself. It takes magic!

This film was very different from what I was expecting, first of all because it's an Indian film and you know what to expect from an Indian film. Always full of bright colors, happy dance sequences (or even sad dance sequences) and of course, lot of singing. The Lunchbox is nothing like that.

On the whole time, I'm watching the film like the guy who stares next to mr. Fernandez Desk with wired, bizarre, strange, funny, odd, curious, peculiar, erratic, crazy.
