Visions from India Film Club

All good things must come to an end — we cap off this month-long film club with a screening of 2013’s instant classic The Lunchbox. Directed by Ritesh Batra and starring the late, great Irrfan Khan, this heartfelt film follows the accidental friendship between a lonely wife and a recent widower as they discover each other’s joys and sorrows without ever meeting in person. Stick around afterward for a discussion about this film and others on the Visions from India Film Club list. Free on Kast. 

The stream is hosted on Kast, a free watch party service available for Google Chrome browsers or via a free desktop application for Mac and PC computers. You can download the app here.
