The award winning film, THE LUNCHBOX, written and directed by Ritesh Batra, and starring Irrfan Khan (LIFE OF PI), Nimrat Kaur and Nakul Vaid will be released in the U.S. by Sony Pictures Classics. THE LUNCHBOX was the winner of the Viewer’s Choice Award, Grand Rail d’Or, winner at the 2013 Critics’ Week at Cannes Film Festival.

In THE LUNCHBOX, a mistaken delivery in Mumbai’s famously efficient lunchbox delivery system connects a young housewife to a stranger in the dusk of his life. They build a fantasy world together through notes in the lunchbox. Gradually, this fantasy threatens to overwhelm their reality. 

“I am thrilled Sony Pictures Classics is on board with THE LUNCHBOX. The film is a delicate story with lots of humour and pathos, and Sony Pictures Classics is a good home for our film and a great team,” says Director Ritesh Batra.
