Ila Sehgal is a young wife seeking her husband Rajeev Sehgal’s attention and looking for ways to put romance back into her marriage, one of which is to cook delicious lunches for him. She sends the lunchbox through the famous Mumbai “dabbawalas,” an intricate system that picks up and delivers lunches from restaurants or homes to people at work. Due to a mix-up, the lunchbox Ila prepares for her husband gets delivered, instead, to Saajan Fernandes, a widower who is about to retire from his job as an accountant.The Lunchbox 2013 Movie Download.
Ila eventually realizes the mistake and with the advice of her neighbour auntie living in the apartment above her, writes a letter to Saajan about the mix up and places it in the lunchbox (along with her husband’s favorite meal) the next day. An exchange of the messages sent back and forth with the lunches ignites a friendship between the two, as they share memories and events of their own individual lives.
At work, Saajan is tasked with training his replacement, Aslam Sheikh, an orphan whose incompetence initially annoys Saajan, who is already socially distant since his wife’s death. Saajan and Shaikh gradually get to know each other better and strike a close friendship as well. At one point, Saajan saves Aslam Sheikh’s job by covering for his blatant mistakes on pay orders and he also becomes his best man at his wedding with Mehrunissa.
At home, Ila finds out that her husband is having an affair and she begins to give up hope on her marriage. In one of the lunchbox letters, she suggests moving to Bhutan where the cost of living is much less than in India. Saajan writes back suggesting that the two move there together. Ila then offers to meet in person at a popular food joint, but at the appointed time Saajan doesn’t turn up. Upon receiving an empty lunchbox the next day, Saajan writes back to the dejected Ila and apologizes, saying that he did arrive and saw her from a distance but couldn’t approach her.
