Critic Review
Lootcase (2020)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. Seeing this as a window to a better livelihood, Nandan takes it home. But, the money is big and seekers aplenty. Will this be the end of his woes or the beginning of new sorrows? 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.

Kunal Kemmu has made comedy his forte and shines in his role, doing everything that was required from him and more. Rasika Dugal sparkles as well. The rest of the ensemble cast too have made their mark. Lootcase is a light-hearted satire which will defini.
Regardless of these minor bumps, Lootcase is a film that is fun to watch for a lazy Sunday afternoon with family and friends (remember to maintain social distancing). It’s the type of film that gains attention more from word of mouth publicity than scor.
The film’s best bits are its little throwaway moments and there are plenty of those. “Lootcase” is not perfect or extraordinary in any way. But it will bring a smile to your face. And in these times I think it’s fair to say we’re grateful for wh.
Watch it for the top-notch performances and a few moments of laughter. And if you are lucky enough to be staying with your family, make some popcorn and celebrate a movie night..
Lootcase’ is an earnest effort with regards to two things: bring to light the travesty of greed, and life in general. But, with the writers, Kapil Sawant and Rajesh Krishnan, falling prey to the need to take the safe route and inculcate the tried-and-te.
