Still strangers physically, Ila and Saajan become lost in a virtual relationship that could jeopardize both their realities. They each discover a new sense of self and find an anchor to hold on to in the big city of Mumbai that so often crushes hopes and dreams.
Gradually, their notes become little confessions about their loneliness, memories, regrets, fears, and even small joys. This begins a series of lunchbox notes between Saajan and Ila, and the mere comfort of communicating with a stranger anonymously soon evolves into an unexpected friendship. Curious about the lack of reaction from her husband, Ila puts a little note in the following day’s lunchbox, in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the mystery. She prepares a special lunchbox to be delivered to him at work, but, unbeknownst to her, it is mistakenly delivered to another office worker, Saajan, a lonely man on the verge of retirement. A mistaken delivery in Mumbais famously efficient lunchbox delivery system connects Ila, a neglected housewife, to Saajan (Irrfan Khan), a lonely man on the verge of retirement. She desperately hopes that this new recipe will finally arouse some kind of reaction from her neglectful husband. Middle class housewife Ila is trying once again to add some spice to her marriage, this time through her cooking. A mistaken delivery in Mumbai's famously efficient lunchbox delivery system connects a young housewife to an older man in the dusk of his life as they build a fantasy world together through notes in the lunchbox.
