Ritesh Batra's timeless classic tale of a 'dabba' delivery gone wrong is one that hits all the right notes. Irrfan steals the show as the Sarkari baabu Saajan Fernandes who goes about with the scheme of things every single day in the usual monotonous fashion ,Nimrat Kaur is a delight, she s graceful ,sultry ,sensual & still has that feel of vulnerability in her portrayal of Ila, superb debut ! Put Nawaazuddin and Irrfan in the same frame and you just watch in awe with a tingling of smile on your face as the exemplary jodi showcase some great chemistry and jugalbandi. Lunchbox s a fine ,sumptuous delicacy,garnished with just the right blend of emotions ,with a curry so rich and texture smooth that you would be left craving for more as you leave the cinema hall. It was a project that was in doldrums and had the likes of UTV and KJo not backed it,might never have seen the release it truly deserved. The Lunchbox,is in a different league altogether ! One that would be etched in memories for times immemorial.
