The one and only, century-old home-cooking delivery service in Mumbai operates rain or shine. A fateful lunchbox mix-up brings together a man and a woman, who become pen pals and eventually confidants. She is a capable housewife and a good cook, but her husband fails to appreciate her talents, leaving their marriage growing stale; while he is a diligent and devoted civil servant, who is widowed and lonely as retirement approaches. She lovingly prepares a lunchbox for her husband to rekindle their spark, only to be accidentally delivered to the widower instead. But this beautiful mistake turns out to be a wakeup call – for his taste buds, and his hopeful heart. Indian director Ritesh Batra weaves together two lonely souls through a lunchbox delivery. Amidst the dreariness of mundane urban life, he uncovers flavours and warmth that touch everyone.
