Film Story :

Life takes an unexpected turn for a printing press staffer, Nandan Kumar (Kunal Khemu), 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?

Lootcase Movie Review :

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. But a big, glossy red suitcase – or ‘lootcase’, as they would like to call it – comes as a glimmer of hope and he knows he would be foolish to let this one go. So, before embracing it, he makes this somewhat of a naïve announcement: “Last time poonch rahaan hoon, kiska suitcase hain?” Once Nandan realises there are no takers, off he goes! But the man is a chawl dweller and his neighbours are a bunch of noisy, pesky people. And his wife? A ‘poojari’s beti’ who wouldn’t accept this unwelcome guest although she’s always giving him grief over the family’s dire financial situation.

And the fact that the money was stolen from a top-notch politician, who was getting it hand delivered to another top-notch politician’s wife through a gang of goons, doesn’t help either. Rajesh Krishnan’s ‘Lootcase’ is a satire, a cinematic stareback at a poor man’s insatiable quench for wealth pitted against a rich man’s obsession to amass as much as he can – by fair or unfair means.

‘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-tested formulas of this genre, honestly, the film didn’t have much promise beyond a point.
