The Lunchbox has the potential to reach Oscars: Irrfan Khan

Actor Irrfan’s upcoming film The Lunchbox is being appreciated at film festivals across the world and he states that everyone whose opinion matters in international cinema, including the audiences, want The Lunchbox to become India’s official entry into the Oscars.

On the foreign shores, Ritesh Batra’s directorial venture has created a buzz- it went to the Toronto International Film Festival, and will be screened at the Zurich and London film festivals. At Cannes this year, it won Critics’ Week Viewers Choice Award.

‘The opinion that critics and audiences have make the movie a potential contender.’
