I had very high expectations of this film going into it. Lunch Box had rave reviews, and I was excited to watch a modern Indian film. The story was very simple, and one that has been done a million different ways: two strangers become friends, or lovers through a communication vehicle that is centered around the mystery of never meeting. It's great. It creates tension.
Lunch Box uses this concept and chooses the vehicle of a lunch box for communication. In theory, it's a new twist on an old idea. The execution was great. It was never the same thing twice. I thought the story dragged on after a while though because they spent so much time in the 'back and forth' part. I love that the two main characters didn't end up together in the end, but I was underwhelmed and a little disappointed at just how abrupt it was.
