Mumbai's 'Dabbawallahs' or food delivery people have been delivering food to offices since about 1900 or even earlier. They are renowned for their accuracy. Based on what I've heard about them, the wrong delivery depicted in this movie is actually a one-in-a-million happening. I was pleasantly surprised when I watched the late Irrfan Khan and Nawazudding Siddiqui in the same movie... sad that they couldn't do more movies together. The actress Nimrat Kaur was very natural and did well.
Yep. They deliver almost 200,000 tiffin boxes everyday in Mumbai city. Some from people’s own homes, some from hotels, etc, but an established, everyday routine. Not like your Zomatos and Swiggys, where you order every time. Like a newspaper route. The delivery guys know which paper to deliver to each house. A very elaborate and complex system, yet perfectly executed. Almost. That one mistake forms the premise of this story. It really is masterful. For film students, especially. From ideation and storytelling to direction and acting, everything is perfect.
@@OurWorldOFMusic There was no mistake from their side in this too, it's the office clerk / peon who unintentionally mismatched both tiffins and the story began from there
@@kartiksharma7674 I don't know, but Matt Damon is great in Interstellar, in the way he cries when he confesses his falsehood and cowardice, and I can't imagine how Irrfan sir would have made the role happen. Irrfan sir is a great actor, make no mistake, but somehow, Matt Damon felt legendary in the role.
@@prabhatsourya3883 it is the truth! Irrfan also turned down roles in Body of Lies & The Martian! We cannot imagine someone else playing a part because we have seen only the final product! Imagining the best suited actor for a role is the director's job! Imagine Devdas with Govinda instead of Jackie, Sholay with Danny as Gabbar Singh, A Wednesday with Amitabh instead of Naseeruddin, Sardar Udham with Irrfan Khan instead of Vicky Kaushal, Inglourios Basterds with Leonardo Dicaprio instead of Christoph Waltz, Dougrey Scott (villain in mission impossible 2) as Wolverine in X-Men films & Hugh Jackman as Captain Jack Sparrow! It is unimaginable but all of the above were the original considerations & the roles went to other actors (due to various reasons) who made them memorable!
Both irfan and nawazuddin are equally brilliant actors. It’s very unfortunate that there won’t be any irfan khan movies. In Bollywood there are very few actors like him. True jem of Bollywood
The Lunchbox, a feast for the senses, a tale of connection and longing that unfolded with exquisite subtlety. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mumbai, wove a narrative that transcended time and space, reminding us of the profound beauty that lies within the simplest of gestures. The performances were a symphony of emotions, with Irrfan and Nimrat Kaur breathing life into their characters with remarkable finesse. Irrfan, with his nuanced portrayal of Saajan Fernandes, painted a portrait of a weary soul burdened by life's disappointments, whose spirit finds renewal in the simplest of exchanges. Nimrat, as Ila, delicately portrayed the yearning for love and fulfillment, her eyes reflecting a silent strength as she navigates the complexities of life. Irrfan’s acting in "The Lunchbox" was a mesmerizing symphony of subtlety and emotional resonance, where he adorned the character of Saajan Fernandes with the hues of his brilliance. With every gentle gaze and nuanced gesture, he unveiled the depths of Saajan's soul, a portrait of solitude seeking solace amidst life's tapestry. Like a maestro of emotions, his performance resonated with authenticity and tenderness, delicately weaving together the ordinary and the extraordinary. Through his artistry, Irrfan left an indelible mark, a testament to the captivating power of his talent, forever engraving his name in the realms of cinema. 🎭 IRRFAN 🌟🎬🌍❤️
Mumbai's Dabbawallah/ food delivery is a local organization which achieved high service performance with low cost and simple operations. Harvard did a study on them! Lunch box is one of my favorite movies of all time. Miss Irfann! He was such a gem!
@@Stonytudeyep rather than putting simple story thing he could have mentioned actress thing or the dark side of life that film subtly portrays like loneliness, infidelity , su*cide thing , disease and death etc
Haha I loved how Syntell noticed the old school pressure cookers. These are actually what's normal in India. Very few families (even in urban areas) use automated cookers.
I’m actually waiting on Syntell’s philosophy lessons. My man is the Aristotle of UA-cam. Love his insights, truths and revelations. His thoughts & insights are so deep, profound & deeply arresting. Some of the things he notices are just amazing. Big thanks to the Koay family for having Steph & Syntell do these reactions. They compliment each other so well & both are so genuine & get along with each other.
Same with a lot of Indian families in the West. I was born and raised in the U.S. to South Indian parents, and my family still uses old school pressure cookers. I did buy an Instant Pot a few years ago, but I don’t use it much other than to make rice/quinoa.
Irrfan was the most underrated actor he was the hidden gem of bollywood. He did all types of roles with ease whether is dark ,grey character or good character,comdey roles. There won't be any actor like Irrfan in bollywood ever
This movie holds a cozy corner in my heart. So realistic and perfect in depicting all the imperfections of life ! And the man, Irrfan, can make you cry even with his "sigh of relief" or just doing nothing. He was special, he'll always be.
Dabbawala (Tiffinbox carriers) are the organization that achieved six sigma certificate (less than 3.4 flaw in 1 million boxes delivered) which is Quality certification and achieved by very less number of organizations around the world. This case study is very famous across all engineering and MBA colleges in India. This organization was started so people working in offices can have warm home cooked food but now the count has reduced because Microwave ovens and further reduced due to covid people started working from home
Ok, you guys won't see any other film like this again, hands down the finest writings of bollywood, unlike bollywood. I don't see any other movie like this. This is unheard gem of bollywood that nobody knows about . Tha way Irfan has played the role, my god that's beautiful ❤️.
Mumbai Dabbawalas are one of a kind. One of the best management system in the world. They have been studied by the top business schools like Harvard and Wharton. They were recently invited for King Charles coronation ceremony and were also invited for the royal wedding. They are known for their accuracy. They deliver home cooked food for lunch and deliver back the lunchbox at home for a monthly fee. The middle class people of Mumbai travel a lot to reach their office (few hours everyday) so most people leave very early in the morning to reach office on time, but it is difficult to cook lunch so early in the morning so the Dabbawala services are used by many households.
Today i kinda fell in love with steph. It's been so long, i have been looking for a friend who is as mad about cinema and storytelling as myself but unfortunately never found one. Over the last 6-7 years i have watched so many movies and so many shows. Literally almost everythings that's worth watching. But now i have gotten bored of watching such good cinema alone. I have many friends but not a single freind with whom i can sit and chat about the brilliance of cinema and storytelling in general. Today for the first time i saw Steph so engaged and excited about this movie that my heart instantly said, This! This is what you want man! The way she suddenly realised how those writers turned such a normal thing into an exciting story, main to pighal gaya bikul. I have so many movies and shows in my list that i am saving to watch with this kind of person, because now i can't enjoy watching movies alone. It's boring. I hope i find a girl with this specific quality.
I understand your feeling. Watching a good movie is one thing but having someone to discuss it's nuances, smallest details and talk about it in length is pure bliss. My brother plays that part in my life (to some extent). All I need to do is to force him to watch the movie (or read the book) I liked. Guess he's lucky to have a sister with amazing taste. I hope you find someone ✌️
This is a simple but such a artfully curated film. Everyone can relate. Whether you’re the woman who cooks food for their loved ones or the one on the receiving end of this delicious food. Thank you for reacting to this❤
This movie in mathematically impossible because lunch box service in Mumbai has got certificate that less than 10 box get misplaced compared to 10lakh boxes(1 million)😂
I've seen this movie thrice so far. I can't look at Irfan Khan and not have tears in my eyes every single time. 😢 ❤❤ There's never gonna be another like him.
Just over the weekend, I was engaged in a conversation about how the character of Mr Fernandes played by Irfan Khan is similar to Otto Anderson played by Tom Hanks in A man called Otto. An old man who retires and loses his purpose to live, but finds a reason to build a new life from sheer coincidence.
Mumbai's lunch box service (dabbawalahs) deserves it's own reaction video...plz react to them it's really commendable how they work in such a coordinated way without any advanced technology
Irrfan khan was a very versatile and good actor. You should watch Jurassic park(indominus rex part) he acted in it too. Sadly he passed away in 2020 .RIP😣
You guys have a good taste on movies I don't know that if you guys are aware of that or not that Irfan Khan rejected the role of Matt Damon in Interstellar to do this movie This movie needs an Oscar man 🔥🔥🔥🔥

We are still using that pressure cooker. I don't think there is any replacement of that Cooker in India.
That's because the new cookers can't cook some of the complex Indian cuisines with perfection
Because our dishes require such cookers
Same with a lot of Indian families in the West. I was born and raised in the U.S. to South Indian parents, and my family still uses old school pressure cookers. I did buy an Instant Pot a few years ago, but I don’t use it much other than to make rice/quinoa.

Acting, direction and story line of this movie is unparalleled. Irfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur have made themselves immortals with this master piece.
There is whole documentary on lunch box service in Mumbai.. it's very unique. I am not sure it's on UA-cam or not

I just love this movie so much. Thank you for reminding me to revisit this masterpiece. Brilliant acting by all three main actors
Irfan khan was offered the role of mann played by matt Damon in interstellar but he turned down the role due to his commitments towards lunchbox
Yep
Missing the kind soul and phenomenal actor... RIP legend
This movie is a masterpiece . A simple story plot yet intriguing ❤
This masterpiece needs intelligence to acknowledge.I think such movies comes once in a decade.
A gem of a movie! With 2 legends (the incomparable) Irrfan and Nawaaz together!
16:22 The greatest ever Indian actor on display in this scene ❤ dont have words to express how much we miss you Irrfan sir
Your movie picks are brilliant
Thank you for watching this gem of a film ❤
You look at this movie and realize once again that Irfan Khan is such an excellent actor.
Kudos to whoever is picking movies, you know our hearts!
50% delivery accuracy rate. You can enjoy different people's cooking with this system. This is fun.
This movie is one of my favourite not because it mentions about my county Bhutan 🇧🇹 but the story is simply magical. Love from Bhutan 🇧🇹.
RIP sir still missing him The Legendary Irrfan Khan sir
