Synopsis

Toaster

Ramakant (Rajkummar Rao) is a miserly perfume shop owner who lives with his wife, Shilpa (Sanya Malhotra). They are tenants of Mrs. D’Souza (Seema Pahwa), who lives in the same building with her son, Glen (Abhishek Banerjee). The couple attends a wedding and gifts the newlyweds a toaster worth ₹4,999; however, when the marriage is dissolved only a day later, Ramakant decides to reclaim the gift without telling Shilpa. He is informed that all wedding presents have already been donated to an orphanage. Nandini (Farah Khan), the head of the orphanage, refuses to return the toaster as it is already in use. That night, Ramakant’s attempt to steal it fails, but Glen successfully steals the device shortly after. The following day, the police arrive at Ramakant’s house after Nandini reports the theft and names him as the prime suspect. Meanwhile, Ramakant spots Glen carrying the toaster to a mall to meet a mysterious man. Shortly after, Mrs. D’Souza passes away. While visiting her home, Ramakant finds the toaster and attempts to take it, but a drunken Glen confronts him. During the ensuing scuffle, Glen accidentally falls from the balcony to his death. An elderly neighbour, Malini Pherwani (Archana Puran Singh), films the incident and uses the footage to blackmail Ramakant into a sexual relationship. Ramakant’s frequent nights away from home begin to strain his marriage with Shilpa. Desperate, Ramakant asks his perfume supplier, Guddu (Vinod Rawat), to intervene and deal with Malini.

Toaster Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, TOASTER is a quirky entertainer that benefits greatly from its unusual plot and Rajkummar Rao’s thoroughly enjoyable performance. Despite a weaker second half, the film has enough amusing moments and eccentricity to keep one invested. It is the kind of film that can find its audience and prove to be a success on OTT.

All in all, Toaster marks a confident debut for director Vivek Daschaudhary and producers Patralekhaa and Rao. It is a light-hearted comedy that pokes good-natured fun at people who are stingy with their money without ever hitting below the belt. The film is currently streaming on Netflix.
