The Ticket to Happiness

The Lunchbox is one most honest love story Bollywood has ever produced. It is a delightful story of life told in such an authentic and simple way that it is bound to connect with every viewer. Debutant director screenwriter Ritesh Batra has delivered a delicious meal in his first attempt itself. He has hit the bulls eye in every aspect of filmmaking. Be it the story, research or direction everything is just flawless. But the best thing about The Lunchbox is the authentic characterization, the widower Govt clerk, lonely housewife, the over smart idiot assistant or the never seen aunty everyone brings in such simplicity and authenticity that the entire set up seems so real. The acting is truly international quality. All in all The Lunchbox is one of the best Indian films in ages. Ritesh Batra take a bow.
