“THE LUNCHBOX”

The lunchbox is a phenomenal movie,it opens with Bombay’s ever popular much acclaimed one of a kind
dabba service.I am finally happy to see a movie revolve around Irrfan Khan,not adorned with the
chocolate boy look,nor the rugged ones,everyday looking man is an actor,class aparte and a
natural.Nimrat Kaur and Nawazudidin Siddiqui are also remarkable and quiet the naturals this movie
demands.If you are from any other part of India,you will be appalled the Bombay or Mumbai lifestyle.If
you are a native,this movie will feel as if a looking over the shoulder and into the life of someone you
see everyday.

After that,the voicre over,the ”Deshpande aunty” we naverget actually see,who sounds adorable
throughout the film,but with whom the heroine will communicate and share dilemmas all throughout
the film,she is almost like her go to person,with whom she hand-selects all her problems to be
discussed.The movie has a compelling mise-en-scene,set in a middle class Bombay and reflecting the
ways of everyday Bombay,unlike most Bollywood movie,this movie does not have the usual songs or
elaborate sets,which helps it in retaining its realistic bit and the romanticism element of the Mumbai
life.Except for the time that Ella requestd aunty to play song form the movie of Sarjaan upon finding out
the name of the man who eats the food she prepare.

The movie and its actor are expert at catching and orienting the tiny details and indiocracies of each of
it’s characters.The movie is subtle,and moves at its own fine pace.It has symbolism of food as love,and
reaffirms to theage old “the way to a man’s heart…..”

The movie in essence is truly Indian,the deshpande aunty cleaning the ceiling fan,while it still rotates,as
the woman is superstitious that her husband who is in comma will die the day the fan will stop.The kind
of love , so subtle and unspoken without really ever a physical cohabitation between the actor but
develops over food and the notes exchanged via the lunchbox.The observations of everydat life from
the protagonist’s point of view,truly all smell as Indian as the Indian monsoon.The movie is real.Very
real.

The end is abrupt,which I like.The movie does not belong to the classic genre.
