The 66th
Cannes International Film Festival is proving to be a great one for Indian
cinema this year. With five films from India being selected in various sections at the prestigious event, awards were almost sure to
flow in. And now the first one has been announced – Lunchbox has
bagged its first award
A maverick of off-beat films that inevitably move a sea of emotions within,
acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan has shown that success also belongs to those who
choose the path less trodden.
His film Lunchbox, which is directed by Ritesh Batra, has won the Grand Rail d'Or Award at the International Critics' Week, a sidebar of the Cannes film Festival. Irrfan who has played an important role in the film, is back to work, busy finishing his assignments. Taking out time for this interview, he told Smita Mishra of India Today Online why Lunchbox is so special and why he loves to do non-conformist roles.
I am trying to extend the definition of commercial cinema, says Irrfan Khan
