A Potpourri of Vestiges Review

Lootcase,
directed by Rajesh Krishnan, revolves around the screenplay that every middle
class dreams of – the dream of becoming filthy rich. The film features Kunal
Khemu (Nandan Kumar) and Rasika Dugal (Lata) in the lead roles with Vijay Raaz
(Bala Rathore), Gajraj Rao (MLA Patil) and Ranvir Shorey (Inspector Madhav
Kothe) in supporting roles.
The
film begins with Nandan Kumar (Kunal Khemu) who is shown as a typical middle
class blue collared worker working in a printing press struggling to fulfil his
family needs. His wife Lata (Rasika Dugal) keeps telling him to invest in some
other business which would bring home some extra income. Along with his wife we
also see Nandan’s son Ayush (Aryan Prajapati) who like every other kid has
endless demands.
On
his way back home from work one night, Nandan sees his life take a sensational
turn. He discovers a red suitcase brimming with wads of 2000-rupee notes which
could completely change his standard of living and would solve all his family
problems. Thus, before grasping it, he makes this fairly innocent declaration:
"Last time poonch rahaan hoon, kiska bag hain?" Once Nandan
acknowledges there are no takers, he quickly runs to grab the suitcase. Be that
as it may, the man is a chawl inhabitant and his neighbours are a bunch of
boisterous, troublesome individuals. Furthermore, his significant other? A
'poojari's beti' who wouldn't acknowledge this unwanted visitor despite the fact
that she's continually giving him anguish over the family's desperate money
related situation.
Nandan
is unaware that the bag belongs to a manipulative legislator, Patil, and is
bound for the location of another government official. Before it arrives outside
an open urinal on a road named Pipe Road, it was being taken care of by two small
time hoodlums who have an obligation to the aforementioned government official.
The story is unsurprising as one could easily guess what would happen next. The
screenplay is moderately paced yet it works best for the film. Composed by
Kapil Sawant and Rajesh Krishnan, the straightforward avarice focused dim
satire never misses a second with its comic planning; credit also goes to the
gifted cast. Kunal ends up being the ideal entertainer for this 'aam aadmi'
parody. He likewise figures out how to play off genuine exchanges with an
idiosyncratic appeal. At the point when weapons are passing over and he is
asked "Kis group ke aadmi ho?" all he says is, "Mein toh Lata ka
aadmi hu".
Vijay
Raaz (Bala) is seen as the main villain in the movie. Appearing as a neighbourhood
'gunda' with an interest for the animal world and converses with his obsequious
workers in scientific animal names and keeps adding humour by telling them to
subscribe to "Nat Geo". Raaz is an outright joy who makes us laugh
hysterically, exchanges or not. Also, Gajraj Rao as a degenerate legislator MLA
Patil is by all accounts on a move; following his turn in 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan',
he doesn't frustrate. Rasika Dugal ( Lata), welcomes different sides to her
character on the bleeding edge – one that of a typical middle class housewife
and the other of an extremely desirous spouse who simply cherishes Chinese food
references. We also see Kunal Khemu saying cheesy lines like "Tu meri
hakka noodles, main tera manchurian". Ranvir Shorey plays the intense cop
Kolte who wouldn't flutter his eyelashes before gunning down a crook and has a
past filled with discipline moves and phony experiences. He is amusing in every
event; kudos to him for raising the stakes in the acting department higher. He
is really the only serious character seen in the entire movie.
Lootcase disentangles towards the end, suddenly losing steam. At 2 hours and 13 minutes,
it's excessively long. The film could have been the best comedy movies of 2020
if only it had a slightly stronger script.
The movie is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
Rating: 7/10
