"One thing that makes Lunchbox so strong is that a touch of melancholy hangs over its sweetness. Finally this is a film about the wheel of life, about what helps us cope with its turns and find our way in its unforgiving labyrinth."
"Batra adeptly plays on the tension of will they or won’t they meet, making good decisions based on character and situation rather than the need to uplift an audience."
— Jay Weissberg de Variety
"Wonderfully fresh and affecting fable from India."
"The Lunchbox is perfectly handled and beautifully acted; a quiet storm of banked emotions."
— Xan Brooks de The Guardian
"Bombay, esa ciudad que es color, olor, sabor y caos, se erige como la clave de ese otro caos de destinos no destinados a cruzarse. No es la Nueva York de Woody Allen, ni el París de Claude Lelouch, pero, dentro de su exotismo bien llevado y plasmado, la Bombay de The Lunchbox aparece como uno de esos lugares nacidos para ese género tan a veces en riesgo de no estar en su punto como la romcom."
