A miserly man tries to retrieve a toaster he gifted after a couple calls off their wedding, but is inadvertently drawn into murder.

A gleefully goofy morality tale about where acute kanjoosi can lead. The highlight of Toaster is the writing and the performances.

In execution, this is nothing but dull constructed slop, which keeps getting worse as it goes along, with not even Rao, who is in practically every frame, able to rescue it.

1.5/5

Other than Archana Puran Singh’s scene-stealing presence, nothing really works for "Toaster," which ends up being just another lame Mumbai comedy that borrows heavily from the Kunal Khemu school of crime-caper minus the sense of humour of being one.

Through all the laughs and chaos however, there is little to stay invested in Ramakant. As the film almost falls apart after a perverse twist in the mid-point, there is nothing much left to revive it.

4/5

It is a light-hearted comedy that pokes good-natured fun at people who are stingy with their money without ever hitting below the belt.

Went in expecting a quirky, dark comedy with a fresh angle, but Toaster just doesn’t deliver. The premise actually sounds promising on paper, but the execution falls flat. The humour feels forced, the pacing is all over the place, and the story never really finds its footing. It’s the kind of film where you keep waiting for something clever or memorable to happen—but it just drifts along without a proper payoff. What’s most surprising is seeing Rajkummar Rao in a project like this. He’s usually known for strong script choices and grounded performances, but here even he seems limited by the material. He does what he can, but the writing doesn’t give him much to work with. Overall, it feels like a missed opportunity. A decent idea let down by weak storytelling and inconsistent tone. Verdict: Disappointing. Not one I’d recommend—there are far better options out there.

the first 30 minutes of the movie were really funny and i was expecting more laughter to come but as the plot started getting more revealed it just got very very boring and unfunny like it was funny till the part where the mother dies but after that the movie just went downhill like it wasnt funny and the plot was just bad. overall the movie had no strong plot and it was just bad and bad and the worst

Starts with slow note but ends with bang. Rao is simply great in this type of Genre.

'Toaster' is a laborious dark comedy that struggles with tonal inconsistency, despite flashes of humor and strong performances.
