Can​nes gives standing ovation to the Nimrat Kaur-starr​er Lunchbox

Nimrat Kaur-Irrfan-Nawaz starrer The Lunchbox gets 15-min standing ovation at Cannes

Ritesh Batra’s The Lunchbox (Critics' Week)  has got a thumbs up at Cannes with critics expressing that the film had the potential to be part of the main competition at Cannes. Others have made a comparison with Monsoon Wedding and that surely is a  feather in the cap for young actor Nimrat Kaur.

“I am touched,” says Nimrat. “it is a wonderful feeling to be part of a film like the Lunchbox, and when the audiences and the critics laud your work, there is no bigger award for an actor. It was so beautiful to stand there with the cast and the crew… with people clapping along with the song playing in the end credits. It was musical, magical and such an emotional moment…” This is her response to the reaction at the Premier Screening of the film at Cannes, the film received a nearly 15 minute standing ovation from the audience.

The Lunchbox has also won rave reviews globally.  While Variety terms The Lunchbox to be "a feel-good movie that touches the heart while steering clear of expectation,” Screen Daily words it thus… "Poetic in parts with the odd, tiny pinch of magical realism, it's a quietly confident production. The Lunchbox is a little more sad-eyed and soulful than you might expect at times, ruminating on matters of age and progress."

Produced by Guneet Monga and Anurag Kashyap of Sikhya Entertainment and Arun Rangachari of DAR Motion Pictures and co-produced by NFDC, ASAP Films, Roh Films and Cine Mosaic, the film stars Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Nimrat Kaur amongst others. 

 “I am thrilled. We were just trying to tell a story as honestly as possible. I am so glad it’s universal and can speak to a global audience“ says director Ritesh Batra.
 “ It is so heartening to see our hard work paying off. Both Amit Kumar and Ritesh Batra are fabulous directors and I am so happy that their films have made it” says Producer and CEO, Guneet Monga of Sikhya EntertainmentThis film marks the first of its kind co-production and is also the first Indo-French co-production since the signing of the Co-production treaty.
“Lunchbox marks a significant evolution in the way Indian cinema has transcended geographical boundaries to enter the International mainstream. As lead producers for the film we have collaborated with co-producers from three different continents on this project that we are confident will have both global as well as domestic appeal” says Arun Rangachari, Chairman of Dar Motion Pictures and producer on the film. A film set amidst the milieu of a mistaken delivery in Mumbai's famously efficient lunchbox delivery system, which connects a young housewife to a stranger in the dusk of his life.
