Lootcase Movie Review: Fun, certainly, is up for grabs!

The comedy is situational and the punchlines land smoothly because of their deft screen work. A special word of mention for the dialogues that are just the right mix of slapstick and quirky.

Rating:

I'll be honest; I had rather modest expectations from Lootcase. The trailer made me believe it's a re-run of Delhi Belly and in 2020, the same premise being revisited nine years later wasn't something I was very kicked about. But, in one stellar scene by Vijay Raaz, where he meticulously explains the crux of crocodilian behaviour, I was sold. Playing a don obsessed with the National Geographic channel, Raaz offers the most poignant metaphors about the wildlife and effective commentary on human behaviour.

To the full credit of debutant director Rajesh Krishnan, his maiden venture is all about silly laughs. There's a satirical layering too, but essentially, all the film tries to do is show you a damn good time. A fairly simple plot about a man who discovers a suitcase of cash and all the drama that ensues (involving eccentric cops and outlandish gangsters) there on, is elevated by a stellar cast.
