Go taste this one, you will walk out with a smile.

Ritesh Batra lends the film an earthy feel with a lot of shots of the local train, the messy government office, Mumbai traffic, dabbawallas and more, which set the tone of the film. (more)

The Lunchbox is one of those films that will mesmerize you with dripping simplicity.

Debutant Ritesh Batra dishes out in his first film, that many filmmakers can�t achieve in years. His characters have the mystic charm of yesteryear beauty. He makes his film revel in simplicity as the two protagonists are drawn to each other via letters and food.(more)
