Ila said that if you want to tie someone else's heart, you must first satisfy his stomach. The marriage between her and her husband has entered a period of indifference. As the passion of both parties diminishes, ila's panic and increase rapidly. On the one hand, restricted by Indian traditional social concepts, on the other hand, as a housewife without any financial income, she is the relatively weaker party in this relationship. She needs to do her best to maintain the family, even though there is no love left between them. Not much, but bread can't be without. Ila’s life is simple and boring. She washes and cooks food day after day. The only person who communicates with her is an elderly aunt upstairs. The wrong lunch box has brought some anger to her life. . She asked saajan, what are we living for? She is like Mr. Deshpande, relying on a fan to consume her life.
Saajan is only one month away from retiring. For so many years, he has shuttled between congested buses and trains every day, working at a small one-inch table, surrounded by all kinds of people, colleagues, passers-by, and children, but they All strangers. He is rigorous and serious. He is not good at talking or willing to talk. He grows old in the void, burying himself in the crowd of buses and trains. After communicating with Ila, he began to face his past, his childhood, the old post office, his parents and his wife. After Ila found out that her husband had cheated, he said that he wanted to go to Bhutan, so he said to her: If I Go to Bhutan with you?
Lia and Saajan are the same kind of people. They are bored and fearful of life. They are imprisoned by their respective lives, lingering in silence, and both are people who have fallen into the world. They both found tiny hope in each other. At the end of the film, ila plucked up the courage to leave her husband and took her daughter to find Saajan, and was told that Saajan had gone to Bhutan. In the midst of her loss, ila took her daughter back home, but had already boarded the train. Dan's saajan gave up the journey. He knew that if there was no ila, he would still be the same numb walking dead. He followed the pace of the person who delivered the lunch box to find ila, and at this time ila was ready to take the afternoon train to Bhutan. , Start a new life.
They said: The wrong train can always take you to the right station.
Whether ila and saajan can meet in the end does not seem to be important, because their lives have undergone tremendous changes because of this small lunch box. The important thing is that life is never absolute. Do we have the courage to change our lives, even if like ila, such a change requires a huge price?
