Good news is: the performances more than make up for the damage. The central theme, as well as the parallel stories and all the chaos and commotion that usually tag along a dark comedy, are rendered in a fashion that seem all too predictable (slowly but surely, it does!) and bit too stretched in the middle. And has all the ingredients required to cook up the perfect dark comedy broth – those uproarious expressions, well-timed and carefully placed one-liners and, of course, the stool jokes… Always the stool jokes!īut, what it does lack is a stable momentum and subtexts that came off as fresh-from-the-oven ideas. The plotline is intrigue personified given. Rajesh Krishnan’s ‘Lootcase’ is a satire, a cinematic stareback at a poor man’s insatiable quench for wealth pitted against a rich man’s obsession to amass as much as he can – by fair or unfair means. And his wife? A ‘poojari’s beti’ who wouldn’t accept this unwelcome guest although she’s always giving him grief over the family’s dire financial situation.Īnd the fact that the money was stolen from a top-notch politician, who was getting it hand delivered to another top-notch politician’s wife through a gang of goons, doesn’t help either. 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 no takers, off he goes! But the man is a chawl dweller and his neighbours are a bunch of noisy, pesky people. But a big, glossy red suitcase – or ‘lootcase’, as they would like to call it – comes as a glimmer of hope and he knows he would be foolish to let this one go. REVIEW: A worn out tiffin hanging from his shoulder, an ungrateful workplace, a nagging wife at home and a kid who wouldn’t stop with his demands – Nandan Kumar is one of the many million faces drowning in the burden of his middle-class life. Will this be the end of his woes or the beginning of new sorrows? But, the money is big and seekers aplenty. Seeing this as a window to a better livelihood, Nandan takes it home.

STORY: Life takes an unexpected turn for a printing press staffer, Nandan Kumar (Kunal Kemmu), when he chances upon a briefcase filled with cash sitting on a dingy street.
