Against the backdrop of Mumbai, India — a crowded, overpopulated city where people shuffle to work with minimal human interaction — two strangers with their own life dilemmas find solace after a chance encounter with each other. Ila is a young housewife and mother who is struggling with a neglectful, workaholic husband who is more focused on his career than his home life. In order to get her husband’s attention, Ila prepares a savory, five-course meal to send to him at work. Apparently, Mumbai has a very intricate meal-delivery system that sends home-cooked meals to/from anywhere in the city (a fascinating concept that piqued the interest of this author, as there is no American equivalent). The system is supposed to be flawless, but if that was the case, there would be no premise for a movie.
