Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

zezoeverchallenge I simply love Irrfan Khan and believe he is the best actor ever in Indian cinema of all time. He always surprises me with new and different kinds of stories like no other but never surprises me with his usual genuine & easy character drawing and performance. Always easy always natural always touching. Love you dear Irrfan, hope you get very well recovered soon and God give you hundred years to keep on making fantastic movies and pleasing us. God bless you.

bajpaiharshit For all those out there who thinks bollywood always copies, you should see this one. Who would have thought that a 9-5 job person who was lost in the world is brought back by a tiffin box and the story goes much more deeper about the hidden love of a housewife who too was lost in her own world. Slow but it still binds you to your seat "Simple events of life happy or sad,/ Some sad strings from the train of forgetfulness,/ Not fraught with heavy descriptions,/ Not crowded with events,/ No advice, no philosophy/ Only the feeling that the story is not yet over/ Although there is no more to read..." Lastly, the best part of the movie is 'The Ending'. "Only the feeling that the story is not yet over, although there is no more to read". There is something unspoken in this movie. It depends viewers to viewers, where they actually like to go with "Sajan & Ila".

imtiaz "The Lunchbox" is simply a masterpiece. Ritesh Batra's directorial debut in feature length film is in all way a successful one. The film serves you Mumbai in all its beauty and simplicity. The film brings you joy in ways which you won't be able to explain. That is why even after end you will wish the film to just continue. Irrfan Khan as "Saajan" is in his best. Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Nimrat Kaur were disarmingly natural and poignant. I am sure all the characters will remain with you for a long time.The story is simple and realistic. Though the world famous 'Dabbawalas' are famous for their accuracy still somehow the lead characters' lives get involved with each other. Maybe Batra wants to give a message to everyone that even when the odds of finding love is almost against you you should take your chances. Screenplay is just enough to glue the audience to their seats even if for a moment we ignore the stellar performances and Batra's direction.Cinematography is good but not certainly the best. Again this film is not meant to be visually stunning. I really liked the editing. Especially the portions when both Saajan and Ila were somehow listening to the same songs at a time. (again chances of something like that happening is almost none). The end is really something. Batra has given the full autonomy to the audience for imagining how things might have panned out after that. This film proves again or actually should say that it cements the fact that for a good cinema you need a good story and everything else comes secondary to that.

rohit_vit2020 1. The film is not real, very unpractical. 2. A married women having a kid will start having an affair with unknown person. The husband too has an affair, and she after discovering his hubby's affair, she does not even care to bother that. She does not feel possessive about his husband, she does not even care to withhold his husband, rather let him go with the affair. Such a bitchy woman she is. HOW UNREALISTIC IT IS?? IMAGINE IF THE SAME THING HAPPENS WITH YOUR WIFE/HUSBAND 3. When she realizes the lunchbox prepared by her is delivered to somebody else, and the lunch received by his husband from other sources is not tasty, she should have informed the Dabbawala about the mistake of delivery. SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HER HUSBAND AT ALL. RATHER SHE BUILDS UP ILLEGAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DISTANT UNKNOWN PERSON WHO IS HAVING HER LUNCH BY MISTAKE. THE WOMAN Portrayed IS A BITCH.4. ACTING OF ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD. BUT I FEEL SO SAD ABOUT THE STORY. PITY ON THE ACTORS DESPITE OF THEIR ACTING THE MOVIE WAS BAD FOR ME.
