Toaster, which released today on Netflix, is the story of a miser who goes to insane lengths. The subject is very amusing and hatke and it's commendable how the writers and director Vivek Daschaudary manage to pull it off. There are several moments in the first half that will surely raise laughs. The track of the politician also adds to the fun. However, the film loses some grip in the second half as a particular character becomes central to the narrative. The climax is decent at best, not great. This film could have gone the Lootcase way in the finale, but sadly that doesn't happen. Rajkummar Rao, as expected, is terrific and his comic timing is spot-on. Sanya Malhotra gets to play an interesting character and is very impressive. Abhishek Banerjee and Upendra Limaye are superb and their performances enhance several scenes. Jitendra Joshi is aptly cast. Archana Puran Singh (Pherwani aunty) is unrecognizable at first and is the surprise of the film. However, the writing lets her down a bit. Seema Pahwa and others are fine. All in all, Toaster is a decent timepass flick.

My rating - *** out of 5!
