After numerous fest rounds, Ritesh Batra’s critically and commercially acclaimed debut feature, The Lunchbox, is still making news. And for all the right reasons. This time, the film has bagged a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) nomination. The film is nominated in the Foreign Language Film Category (or Film Not in the English Language). It’s a tough category as the other four films are much acclaimed too.

Film Not in the English Language

Ida
Leviathan
The Lunchbox
Trash
Two Days, One Night

So, except the FFI, we guess everyone saw the potential of the film.
