F.Y.I.
In India for over 100 years hot lunches prepared at home or
at a local restaurant are delivered to the employee’s workplace by a dabbawala,
a person who also returns the empty lunchbox (called a dabba) at the end of the
day. There are roughly 5,0000 dabbawala just in Mumbai who deliver an estimated
200,000 lunchboxes a month. They pride themselves on their punctuality and
near-perfect record of delivery: a Harvard University study concluded that only
one in a million lunchboxes goes to the wrong person.

REVIEW
This charming film about two people who meet by chance and
establish a relationship is not your usual romantic comedy movie. For starters,
the actors are not that well know and both leads give gentle, believable,
unhurried performances. And there is no
wham-bam-thank-you-mam moments. So un-Hollywood. So refreshing.
CLASSIFICATION
PG for thematic material and smoking.
