Toaster Movie Review:
It’s a sweet premise.
A scrooge named Ramakant (Rajkummar Rao) who’ll go to any lengths to save even six rupees.
A wife named Shilpa (Sanya Malhotra) who won’t think twice before buying a decent wedding gift.
A housing complex for seniors, the low rent just right for the miser.
Neighbour D’souza Aunty (Seema Pahwa) who offers toast and a reduction in rent to eternally scrimping Ramakant.
Glenn D’souza (Abhishek Banerjee), somewhat shady.
Elderly Pherwani Aunty (Archana Puransingh).
Sleazy minister Amol Amre (Jitendra Joshi) who must get his hands on a video clip exposing him as a womaniser.
Inspector Balagode (Upendra Limaye), dispatched by the minister to deal with the blackmailer and retrieve the incriminating video.
Ramakant on a mission to get back the expensive toaster he’d gifted a couple whose wedding has been called off.
Two deaths in the neighbourhood.
The toaster at the centre of the police investigation.
And Ramakant caught in an inextricable situation.
Director Vivek Daschaudary gets all the above from writers Parveez Shaikh, Akshat Ghildial and Anagh Mukherjee with an acting cast that has perfect comic timing.
Add to it a terrific cameo from Farah Khan as Nandini who runs the orphanage from where Ramakant has stolen the toaster.
It is a refreshing joyride to begin with especially when Rajkummar Rao is in his element.
Except that the nice little plot goes haywire.
The miserliness over six rupees is only the tip of the exaggerated proceedings as an unnecessary and obvious nightmare and a tediously extended track with Pherwani Aunty take over and the amusement recedes.
The good part is that it is a short ride and it’s on OTT. The bad is that it’s like a roller-coaster that abruptly halts. The twist and the overstretching of Aunty Pherwani is mostly to blame.
PS: A cameo by Pratik Gandhi is a good way to wind up.
Toaster – Watch it or not? Rajkummar, Sanya, Farah and Upendra Limaye are watchable. As for the rest, what’s the Fast Forward button for?
