- BurnharmApril 11, 2026The Lunchbox (2013) was my first Indian movie, and I really enjoyed it. The story was simple but deeply moving, and it gave me such a warm and interesting look at Indian culture and everyday life. It’s a beautiful film with strong emotions and a quiet charm that stayed with me.
