I honestly had no expectations going into Lootcase but it actually had some great moments despite its imperfections.
Lootcase follows Nandan Kumar, a common man, who finds a suitcase stashed full of cash but soon finds himself being pursued by a minister, a cop and a gangster.
Lootcase has a simple plot that isn't special or extraordinary but has quite a few funny moments to keep you engaged throughout. The script by Kapil Sawant and Rajesh Krishnan genuinely has funny dialogue. Scenes involving Nandan trying to hide the suitcase create a lot of the humour which works for the most part. The 2 hour 10 minute runtime, however, is too long as the plot takes too much time to unfold considering its predictability. The songs weren't necessary and I wish the message of the film wasn't spelled out at the end.
The performances are the winners here. It's great to see underrated actors show what they're capable of here. Kunal Khemu as Nandan is fantastic and manages to bring out a lot of funny moments especially with Rasika Dugal who is equally fantastic. Vijay Raaz is excellent and his NatGeo comedy provides a few laughs even though it does become borderline repetitive. Ranvir Shorey is also great and Gajraj Rao as the manipulative MLA is entertaining to watch.
Lootcase is far from perfect but its one of those few comedies in India that actually gives funny jokes. With disastrous comedies like Pagalpanti and Housefull 4, it's nice to see something that doesn't rely to cheap or dumb humour to win over the audience.
