A wrongly delivered lunchbox connects a housewife – Ila Vaid, to Saajan Fernandes, a lonely man in the dusk of his life. Ila lives in Kandivili, the conservative middle class Hindu enclave. And Saajan lives in Ranwar village, Bandra, an old Christian neighborhood that is threatened by the new high rises of Mumbai. Very soon Saajan will retire and bid goodbye to a Mumbai that crushed his dreams, took away his loved ones one by one, and turned his hair white. Just then Ila comes into his life. In the big city, that crushes dreams and recycles them everyday, both find a dream to hold on to. They exchange notes in the lunchbox and create a fantasy life. As the lunchbox goes back and forth, this fantasy becomes so elaborate that it threatens to overwhelm their reality. In the end, they come to a crosswords where they must choose between the two Worlds. The Lunchbox is the story of loneliness, regret, nostalgia, and above all, of the mistakes that can also be miracles. A box office hit in India and beyond, THE LUNCHBOX won the Critics Week Viewers Choice Award at Cannes.

Haru has an excellent sense of taste and surpassing skill in the kitchen, but she has been divorced from her first husband after only a year of marriage because of her impetuous character. One day, Haru is proposed by Dennai Funaki, samurai chef from Kaga, to marry his succeeding son. The Funaki family who has served the Lord of Kaga not with the sword but with the kitchen-knife is well known as Kitchen Samurai for generations. However, now, her new husband Yasunobu wields a kitchen-knife with no skill at all. In order to save the family name Funaki and its position as kitchen samurai, Haru decides to teach him the art of cuisine. Inspired by a real-life family in Kaga that has survived countless upheavals with its cuisine, the film has been selected for the Culinary Cinema section at Berlin International Film Festival 2014.
