MUMBAI MIRROR (December 19, 2014)

Ritesh Batra's much lauded drama The Lunchbox has been named best first feature at the 18th annual Toronto Film Critics Association (TFCA) awards.

It's the only Indian movie to win a TFCA award, voted by the members of the association, which includes Toronto-based journalists and broadcasters who specialise in film criticism and commentary.

Featuring Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur, the film had its share of rounds at international movie festivals, including the Cannes Film Festival.

The awards, to be hosted by the artistic director of the Toronto International Film Festival, Cameron Bailey, will be presented at a gala dinner on January 6.

Richard Linklater's coming-of-age drama Boyhood has won three top prizes at the 2014 awards of the TFCA. In addition to the film's best picture award, Linklater has won best director, and Patricia Arquette has been named best supporting actress.
