lootcase 2020 Movie Review The Surprise Movie

Introduction:- life takes an unexpected turn for a press staffer, Nandan Kumar (Kunal Kemmu), when he chances upon a briefcase crammed with cash sitting on a dingy street. Seeing this as a window to a far better livelihood, Nandan takes it home. But, the cash is big and seekers aplenty. Will this be the top of his woes or the start of latest sorrows?

A wiped out tiffin hanging from his shoulder, an ungrateful workplace, a nagging wife reception and a child who wouldn’t stop together with his demands – Nandan Kumar is one among the various million faces drowning within the burden of his middle-class life. But a big, glossy red suitcase – or ‘lootcase’, as they might wish to call it – comes as a glimmer of hope and he knows he would be foolish to let this one go. So, before embracing it, he makes this somewhat of a naïve announcement: “Last time poonch rahaan hoon, kiska suitcase hain?” Once Nandan realises there are not any takers, off he goes! But the person may be a chawl dweller and his neighbours are a bunch of noisy, pesky people. And his wife? A ‘poojari’s beti’ who wouldn’t accept this gatecrasher although she’s always giving him grief over the family’s dire financial situation. And the incontrovertible fact that the cash was stolen from a top-notch politician, who was getting it hand delivered to a different top-notch politician’s wife through a gang of goons, doesn’t help either. Rajesh Krishnan’s ‘Lootcase’ may be a satire, a cinematic stareback at a poor man’s insatiable quench for wealth pitted against an upscale man’s obsession to amass the maximum amount as he can – by fair or unfair means.

The plotline is intrigue personified; given. And has all the ingredients required to cook up the right dark comedy broth – those uproarious expressions, well-timed and punctiliously placed one-liners and, of course, the stool jokes… Always the stool jokes! But, what it does lack may be a stable momentum and subtexts that came off as fresh-from-the-oven ideas. The central theme, also because the parallel stories and every one the chaos and commotion that sometimes accompany a dark comedy, are rendered during a fashion that appear only too predictable (slowly but surely, it does!) and bit too stretched within the middle. Good news is: the performances quite structure for the damage.

Together with his thick Marathi accent and therefore the nuances of a person living on the sting – both literally and figuratively – Kunal Kemmu is oh-so-Aam-Aadmi he’s began to portray. Kemmu isn't oy hilarious because the man conflicted between right and wrong & greed and gumption, but also achieves the intense dialogues by honey-capping them humorously . Sample this: within the middle of a gang showdown, someone asks, “Bol tu kaunse gang ka aadmi hai?. To which, an enthralling Kemmu replies, “Main toh Lata ka aadmi hun.” One of the most anti-heroes in ‘Lootcase’ is Vijay Raaz as Bala. Shown as an area 'gunda' with a fascination for the animal world and talks to his 'chamchaas' in scientific names, Raaz is an absolute delight.

He cracks you up, dialogues or not. And Gajraj Rao as a corrupt politician MLA Patil seems to get on a roll; in any case it’s his second big comedy project since ‘Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan’ and no, he doesn’t disappoint. i assume it's safe to mention that Rasika Dugal has found her niche because the quintessential whiny homemaker. As Lata, she brings two sides to her personality on the forefront – one that of a complaining Cathy and therefore the other, of a sex-seeking wife who just loves Chinese food references. Ranvir Shorey plays the tough cop Kolte who wouldn't bat his eyelashes before gunning down a criminal and features a history of punishment transfers and faux encounters. he's funny even when he's ruthless and you bought to offer him credit for upping the ante within the already thriving acting department. Other than ‘Muft Ka Chandan’, remainder of the film’s music is simply about okay and zip that might pop right top of one’s head. ‘Lootcase’ is an earnest effort with regards to 2 things: bring back light the travesty of greed, and life generally . But, with the writers, Kapil Sawant and Rajesh Krishnan, falling prey to the necessity to require the safe route and inculcate the tried-and-tested formulas of this genre, honestly, the film didn’t show much promise beyond some extent . The ‘loot’ wasn’t bad; it’s just the execution that didn’t compute too well for the gang.
