Weekend Fun 2: The Lunchbox

The Lunchbox, winner of International Critics' Week Viewers Choice Award at Cannes Film Festival 2013, releases today across India. The film has been written and directed by Ritesh Batra.

Jointly produced by UTV Motion Pictures, Dharma Productions, Sikhya Entertainment, DAR Motion Pictures and NFDC, the film is Batra’s debut venture in mainstream commercial cinema.
