Housewife Ila tries to get the attention of her neglectful husband by preparing a special lunchbox to be delivered to him at work, but it is mistakenly delivered to another office worker, Saajan, a lonely man on the verge of retirement. Curious about the lack of reaction from her husband, Ila puts a note in the following day’s lunchbox, in the hope of getting to the bottom of the mystery. This begins a series of lunchbox notes and a blossoming friendship between Saajan and Ila, in this touching, funny film.
