"Irrfan Khan has said he is disappointed that the official Indian jury did not select The Lunchbox as India&amp;#039;s entry to the Oscars. Khan, who plays the lead role in the widely praised film, told IANS  &amp;quot;they should have done a good job&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I am just disappointed as it was a film with a new language and has the capacity to connect with the world audience,&amp;quot; explained Khan.  &amp;quot;That film was unique in its own way. If that film would have got proper importance then we should have said that you (jury) are giving the right signal to upcoming talents, who are trying to make innovation in film language.  &amp;quot;Madras Caf\u00C3\u00A9 and Ship of Theseus are also the films with new language. They also have the capability to connect with the universal audience,&amp;quot; he added.  The Lunchbox won the critics&amp;#039; week viewers choice award at the 66th Cannes Film Festival this spring. The Ritesh Batra-directed film is also the only Indian film to make it to the 13-movie shortlist for the prestigious London Film Festival&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Official Competition&amp;#039; selection. The Film Federation of India has nominated Gujarati movie The Good Road as India&amp;#039;s entry in the &amp;#039;Best Foreign Film&amp;#039; category for the 2014 Oscars.
