how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 13 comments (12 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β 4 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 4 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

βWhat I hated: the ending. C'mon, the characters should have at least met--maybe not run off together, but the trains passing in the night ending was extremely frustrating.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βKaur and Khan, who was robbed of a IIFA nod, scarcely share a frame of The Lunchbox, yet the emotional connection of their characters is palpable.β
Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times Β· 100
βOne 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.β
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Β· 90
βItβs an intimate, quiet and slow-paced romance, a simple, richly rewarding movie in the classic style of Indiaβs greatest filmmaker, the late Satyajit Ray.β
Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service Β· 88
βThe Lunchbox,β Indian director Ritesh Batraβs debut, is a witty and perceptive film that reveals the hopes, sorrows and regrets of ordinary people.β
Mary Houlihan, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 88
βThe Lunchbox isnβt an example of bravura moviemaking or cutting-edge style but simply a tale told with intelligence, restraint, and respect.β
Ty Burr, Boston Globe Β· 88
Scores from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, read 24 Aug 2026. Quotes belong to their publications and link to the full reviews.
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

βOn the whole time, I'm watching the film like the guy who stares next to mr. Fernandez Desk with wired, bizarre, strange, funny, odd, curious, peculiar, erratic, crazy. **"Dear ila, the food was very salty today"**β
