In the world of Ramakant, every penny carries significance — wastefulness is simply not an option! Netflix has just dropped the trailer for “Toaster,” an upcoming dark comedy that explores one man’s relentless quest to save money at any cost.
The trailer showcases Rajkummar Rao as Ramakant, a lovable yet serious miser who considers every saved rupee a personal triumph. From maximizing everyday expenses to clinging onto every purchase, Ramakant elevates the art of thrifting. However, when a toaster he gifted for a wedding goes unused, he embarks on a mission to reclaim it, dragging himself and those around him into a whirlwind of increasingly chaotic situations, where every effort to rectify things only intensifies the mess.
Directed by Vivek Das Chaudhary and produced by Patralekhaa under Kampa Film, “Toaster” features Sanya Malhotra alongside a talented ensemble cast including Archana Puran Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Farah Khan, Upendra Limaye, Vinod Rawat, Jitendra Joshi, and Seema Pahwa. The film thrives on the dynamic chemistry between its characters, each contributing their unique quirks and motivations to the escalating confusion.
Rajkummar Rao expresses his enthusiasm for “Toaster,” stating, “This project is particularly special to me as it’s our first film under Kampa Film, produced by Patralekhaa. I’m thrilled to present this story to audiences. What captivated me about Toaster was how something so trivial can consume a person’s thoughts. Ramakant genuinely believes he’s acting rationally; he doesn’t see his behavior as extreme but rather practical. This unpredictability makes the journey captivating.”
He continues, “The narrative stems from a very relatable place, and watching this sincerity devolve into chaos is what makes the film both engaging and amusing. Collaborating with such an incredible cast has been a joy, as they truly bring this world to life. I’m excited to take on both behind-the-scenes and acting roles this time around.”
With its eclectic characters and unforeseen twists, “Toaster” promises an exhilarating ride that spirals toward an unexpected conclusion.
Mark your calendars: Toaster premieres on April 15, exclusively on Netflix.
