Forget heist films, forget revenge thrillers — Bollywood’s most underrated actor is back, and this time he’s risking everything for a kitchen appliance. The trailer of Toaster just dropped, and it is the funniest, most absurd 2 minutes 42 seconds you’ll watch this week.
What Is Toaster About?
Toaster is a comedy film starring Rajkummar Rao as Ramakant — a lovable but hilariously extreme miser who describes his penny-pinching as an inherited trait, practically a family heirloom. When his wife (played by Sanya Malhotra) insists they gift an expensive toaster at a wedding, Ramakant is already spiralling. His worst nightmare arrives when the newlyweds split up shortly after — and the toaster is donated to an orphanage.
What follows is pure madness. Ramakant goes full Sherlock, launching a secret mission to retrieve his beloved appliance from the warden — played by none other than Farah Khan in a delightful acting appearance. One deadly accident later, his “simple” retrieval mission has turned into an all-out battle for his own survival.
It’s chaotic, it’s absurd, and it looks like exactly the kind of comfort watch Bollywood OTT fans have been waiting for.

Why This Film Is More Than Just a Comedy
Beyond the laughs, Toaster carries an interesting behind-the-scenes story. This marks actress Patralekhaa’s debut as a film producer under her production house Kampa Films, co-owned with Rajkummar Rao — making it a true passion project for the real-life couple. The fact that they’ve chosen a quirky, character-driven comedy as their first production says a lot about their creative sensibility.
Rajkummar Rao has built his entire career on picking unusual, layered roles, and Ramakant is right in his wheelhouse — someone simultaneously absurd, relatable, and oddly charming. Sanya Malhotra, who has consistently impressed in recent Bollywood releases, looks perfectly cast as the exasperated but loving wife caught in his ridiculous chaos.
With a release date of April 15, 2026 on Netflix, Toaster is shaping up to be the perfect long weekend watch — funny, fast-paced, and brimming with an ensemble cast that clearly had a blast making it.
