BBC Four - The Lunchbox

A mistaken delivery of a lunchbox in Mumbai leads to a romantic encounter.

Drama. A mistaken delivery of a lunchbox in Mumbai leads to an encounter between a lonely, young housewife and a widower.

When Saajan, an ill-tempered Mumbai office worker nearing retirement, is delivered the wrong lunch, he is pleasantly surprised by the improvement in his food. The lunchbox had been intended for young housewife Ila's emotionally indifferent husband in an attempt to win back his favour. When he fails to respond to her efforts, Ila decides to enclose a note in the next meal and Saajan, his taste buds tickled and his interest piqued, decides to write back.

In Hindi with English subtitles.
