This event is in the past.

"The Lunchbox" Cert PG / duration 1hr 43mins.

This charming film set in Mumbai, revolves around a mistaken delivery by the Dabbawalas (lunchbox service) of Mumbai. 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. (Shown with subtitles).

" a real charmer of a film: a wry and gently comic drama with a level of quiet observation that rekindles memories of Bill Forsyth in his prime" - Geoffrey McNab, The Independent
