Netflix has released the trailer of its upcoming dark comedy “Toaster,” which gives a glimpse of a story where miserliness turns absurd. Starring Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra, the film is set to release on April 15. Directed by Vivek Das Choudhary and produced by Patralekhaa under the banner of Kampa Films, “Toaster” focuses on Ramakant, whose deep-rooted miserliness controls every aspect of his life. The trailer features Rao as the extremely vigilant and unwavering Ramakant, who calls himself a miser and believes that every rupee saved is a victory.
What is the story?
The story begins with a seemingly innocuous incident when Ramakant gifts a toaster to a wedding. However, when the wedding is suddenly cancelled, his insistence on getting the appliance back entangles him in a series of complex and chaotic events. What begins as a simple mission soon spirals into a series of complicated situations that entangle everyone around him. The film is a blend of dark humor and situational chaos, and relies heavily on an ensemble cast including Archana Puran Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Farah Khan, Upendra Limaye, Vinod Rawat, Jitendra Joshi, and Seema Pahwa. Each character contributes to the film’s growing confusion, adding depth to its fast-paced story.
Rajkumar Rao’s wife produced a film
The film is produced by Rajkummar’s wife, Patralekha. Speaking about the project, Rajkummar Rao said, “This is special to me because it’s our first film under our production house, Kampa Films, which Patralekha has produced. I’m extremely excited to bring this story to audiences. The most striking aspect of ‘Toaster’ is how a small thing can completely take over someone’s mind. Ramakant is a man who truly believes he’s doing the right thing. He sees his actions as practical, not extreme.” He added, “But that’s what makes this journey so unpredictable. It’s a story that comes from a very real background, and watching that honesty turn into chaos is what makes the film interesting and entertaining. It was also a pleasure to work with such a brilliant cast who truly brought this world to life.” “Toaster,” written by Parvez Shaikh, Akshat Ghildial, and Anagh Mukherjee, promises a poignant, character-driven story where a small obsession leads to major consequences. The film will release on OTT channels on April 15th.
