These movies hold a special place in our hearts and stomachs.
is a love story told through letters slipped into tiffin dabbas between hand-made parathas. The film feels like rhythmic poetry, guided by the steady click-clack of train tracks that mark daily life and punctuated by purple aubergines, vibrant sabzis, and the small moments of life and love when food plays the narrator.
The 2013 movie follows Ila, a married housewife, and Saajan, a widower who’s about to retire from his government accounting job. Their meet-cute starts with an unlikely mistake of the dabbawalas, which was a lunch delivery system studied by Harvard for its accuracy. In this case, the lunch Ila packed for her husband accidentally goes to Saajan.
There are so many good scenes in this movie, but one of my favorites is in the opening, as we follow the insulated green-striped tiffin container from Ila’s house to the train with the singing dabbawalas, on carts through the streets of Mumbai, weaving through bustling traffic, to the fluorescent-lit office. Unlike a lot of what we stereotypically see in Bollywood and Hindi pictures, this film celebrates simplicity, and I love it for that.
