Ritesh Batra’s The Lunchbox has collected over $2.7 million in the US and is said to be this year’s highest grossing foreign film at the American box office.
Apart from becoming 2014's highest grossing foreign film at the US box office, The Lunchbox has raked in $2.7 million (and still counting), according to the box office reporting service Box Office Mojo.
Co-produced by Guneet Monga, Anurag Kashyap and Arun Rangachari, it has reportedly done more business than other Bollywood movies like English Vinglish ($1.8 million), Agneepath ($1.9 Million) and Krrish 3 ($2.2 million).
The story revolves around Ila, a young middle class Mumbai housewife, essayed by Nimrat Kaur, trying to win back her husband's affections through his
stomach and how a rare misplaced
delivery in Mumbai's famously efficient 'dabba' system of lunchboxes, from homes to offices, connects her to an old widower, played by Irrfan Khan through notes in the lunch box.
The movie was expected to be the pick for India’s entry to the Oscars last year but Gyan Correa’s The Good Road was selected instead creating quite a furore in the movie community.
