With its magical optical effects and enchanting performances by Josette Day and Jean Marais, Jean Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast remains the most surreal—and soulful—of fairy tale film adaptations.

PG; 104 minutes; Hindi with English subtitles

A lonely housewife (Nimrat Kaur) decides to try adding some spice to her stale marriage by preparing a special lunch for her neglectful husband (Nakul Vaid). Unfortunately, the delivery goes astray and winds up in the hands of an irritable widower (Irrfan Khan). Curious about her husband's lack of response, she adds a note to the next day's lunch box and thus begins an unusual friendship in which two lonely strangers can talk about their joys and sorrows without ever meeting in person.
