Imagine chasing a toaster across India. That’s literally the plot of Netflix India’s newest dark comedy — and honestly? We’re here for it.

**Toaster** is the latest Netflix Original Hindi film, and it’s already one of the most anticipated Indian releases of 2026. Produced by Rajkummar Rao and his wife Patralekhaa under their newly launched production house **Kampa Film**, this one feels personal — and refreshingly unhinged.

## What’s the Toaster Story?

Ramakant is a lovable yet obsessive *kanjoos* (miser) who gifted a toaster at a wedding — only to discover it’s going to waste. He cannot let that happen. So he sets off to retrieve it, dragging everyone around him into a hilariously spiraling disaster where every fix makes things ten times worse.

Think *Ludo* meets everyday Indian household logic. It’s chaotic, relatable, and laugh-out-loud funny.

## Toaster Star-Studded Cast

Rajkummar Rao leads the film as Ramakant, supported by **Sanya Malhotra** as his long-suffering wife Shilpa. The two previously shared screen space in *Ludo*, so the chemistry is already proven.

The ensemble also includes **Archana Puran Singh**, **Abhishek Banerjee**, **Farah Khan**, **Seema Pahwa**, and **Jitendra Joshi** — a murderer’s row of brilliant character actors.

## Why This Film Matters

This is the directorial debut of **Vivek Daschaudhary**, who previously worked as second unit director on *Guns & Gulaabs*. The screenplay comes from a talented trio: **Parveez Shaikh** (*Darlings*), **Akshat Ghildial** (*Badhaai Do*), and **Anagh Mukerjee** (*Pill*).

Dark comedy as a genre thrives on the absurdity of everyday life — something [well-documented in Indian cinema’s storytelling tradition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_comedy). *Toaster* looks to carry that torch brilliantly.
