After so much of hype about 'The Lunchbox',
I finally watched the show. I was as skeptical about this movie as a Mouse in Mouse-trap factory filled with cheese. I kept looking for things which were un-real, things that were surreal.. things that didn't happen in real life... to my surprise, and a pleasant one at that - There were none.
Irfan Khan has time and again proven that he is indeed belongs to the category of Legends. Nimrat Kaur has come a long way from her Cadbury Dairy Milk ad and her glamorous modelling assignments. She has done a fantabulous job. Lillete Dubey too did more than justice to her 3 minute role. The Lunchbox depicts real emotions, real life incidences, the real non-glam-sham world that 99% of Mumbai actually lives.
Director Ritesh Batra has captured the very simplicity and the emotional turmoil of an average middle class family when faced with a difficult situation. The humor too is not over the top, it doesn't make you roll in laughter, but just enough to make your heart smile. Its the kind of humor that will make you realize, that its just the average humor that we share in our everyday life.
Nawazuddin's character (Shaikh) too is funny in a very real kind of way... a special mention of Shaikh who still has not removed the roses from his new scooter which he receives as a gift from his father-in-law..
I would give this movie a 9 on 10. There is so much more that I could write about this movie... But I urge you to go watch it if you like some serious lighthearted movies.
