Forgetting email, messages, call or in our language whats app debutant Ritesh Batra sweetly and romanticaly plug in us in an era where people used to communicate with letters.
If u ever heard the word "realistic" thn this film "The lunchbox" is one of the most realistic movie i've seen this year.
As our daily routien life starts with the pressure cooker whistle, and momma starts like an engine who departure at early in the morning and arrival at night and a typical father, husband who come up at home and on a dinner table, bore whole family with their silly sensex updats, many more things which actualy exist in our daily life which shown by smart director very beautifully.
The whole film based on simple story which also focused on "mumbai dabbawala's" how come they deliever dabba from one place to another. They frame them very well on other side. Cinematography of the film is something like which place itself very well in ur gossip after watching it.
Housewife ila (nirmat kaur) is actualy a housewife i think..! mean how come a person act so realistic and the phase of the film looks like we are watching a documentry, And an aunty whose aquaintance is her voice only. A call goes "auntyyyy" and reply comes "haa" thats it. .., i mean can you imagine?? without on screen presence just a voice of a lady..guiding ila about different things which i m not going to tell coz somewhere it would be come as a spoiler for you. BRILLIANT THOUGHT ... HATS OFF
Small gags which is like not specialy cover the reel to make u laugh, but they suited well in situation and come up as a gags. As in our "roz mara zindgi" we use.
Irrfan and Nawazuddin, watching them both on screen together is worth more than your 100-150-300 bucks.
Irrfan's character is like same as i observed a single govt officer in any govt office. when i or anyone used to ask so many question constantly, and they reply like they burp.. Or stare us like we ask for their daughter's hand.
He grabs the same attitude and gave top notch performance, an A class performance we should say.
And nawazudin.. a character who is seriously unbelievable.., same as saajan (irrfan) used this word in one shot. Seriously played a role like apni hi dhhun mai.. Mean thats what actualy called an acting, a performance.
How they act like so realistic man ?? how ?? i'm stunned man !!!
Luvd so many reply's of a letter by saajan (irrfan) one of them is so touchd my heart which is "I think we forget things if we have no one to tell them to" .
So without wasting ur time on item songs, songs or any other disgusting things.., simply walk on a path of love, sweetness, happiness, a bit of an emotional side, left u with the stomach ache which is not going to wel until u dnt recomend this movie to as many as u can.
And it wil also left u with hungeriness.
If you realy want to see a true cinema... Dabba is waiting for u.. GO and GET IT !!!
I am not rating this one, just thnkful to cinema for making me so happy.
