I saw the new movie, The Lunchbox, last night and just loved it.
A great story that follows the beginning of a relationship between a widower and a housewife trying to get the attention of her tuned out husband when the lunchbox she sends for him mistakenly goes to the widower.
Irffan Khan and Nimrat Kaur are both magnificent. Khan played the titular role in The Life of Pi which was a huge hit last year and one of my all time favorite books.
Both he and Kaur, who is just gorgeous btw, possess an amazing talent for displaying incredible, subtle, and complex emotions with just their expressions and posture.
Often Khan will gaze off into the distance and you know at once that he has gone somewhere deep into his own psyche and you quite nearly feel his joys and pains with him.
They are both great actors and deserve much praise.
I hope this movie will propel both to new international heights as they are both huge stars in their native India.
Go see the movie - it's worth your time!
