Movie Haiku:The Dabbawallah responsible for getting a scrupulously prepared lunch from Ila (Kaur) to her husband screws up & it lands on the desk of Saajan (Khan) instead. The local color depicting life in modern Mumbai was so wonderful that we were captivated... until the plot started falling apart on her kitchen end. But the office story of Saajan & his trainee definitely makes this a go.
