Indian writer and director Ritesh Batra made his feature debut with this powerful drama about two lonely people looking for a connection. A mistaken delivery connects a young housewife with an elderly clerk which starts an unusual friendship through notes in the lunchbox. Utterly original and compelling, Batra delivers one of the best films from India in recent memory which is quiet an accomplishment. The film works on several levels with universal themes with the exotic backdrop of India which makes for a rewarding experience. Irrfan Khan stars with another terrific performance along with Nimrat Kaur and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
