Lunchbox ( 2013)
I feel guilty for not eating this lunch
early.Happened to watch this Hindi epistolary film
today.A feel good movie .Casting is also superb
with great actors like Irrfan Khan & Nawazuddin
Siddique.Both are my favorites.Nirmat Kaur takes
up the role of heroine.I thought she would be
overshadowed by the great actors Irrfan &
Nawazuddin, but she surprised me.She played the
role of lonely wife excellently giving boldness &
dignity to her character.
Forgive me if you have already seen this.For those
who haven't tasted please taste it soon, because
you won't feel its greatness unless you taste it.
One of the only few indian movies with 90+% rating
on rotten tomatoes.
