One of the most acclaimed films in recent time The Lunchbox releases this weekend in Zurich, a unique event indeed for a Hindi film.

Connecting from Zurich the film's ferociously feted leading lady Nimrat Kaur said, `It's freezing over here. But Zurich is gorgeous.We're promoting the film here for a weekend release.`

Apparently the Swiss media and movie population are agog about this unconventional love story between two bereft souls in Mumbai who never meet.

`It's amazing over here,` exults Nimrat. `After The Lunchbox releases here in Zurich this week we are off to Berlin to promote the film there. We'll be in Germany for a week. Then we proceed to France to promote the film in French cities for a week.`

Speaking on the film's amazing journey director Ritesh Batra said, `The love for the film has been very overwhelming beyond anything I expected. All the love that the film got outside India would not have meant anything if it didn't succeed at home.I think it worked in India because it's a sincere attempt to look at Mumbai and its people.`


The Lunchbox was made with French and German collaboration, hence the wide release in Europe.

Says Ritesh, `Only 50 percent of the money came from India. The rest we had to generate from outside India. There was also a German and a French producer.So that money which was raised from France and Germany had to be used in those countries. That is the rule. We did the sound n Germany. We also had a German music composer.And we did the colours in France.`
