Kunal
Khemmu
As
Nandan
Kumar
It
is
every
middle-class
man
and
woman's
dream
to
luck
out
and
find
a
bag
full
of
cash
with
no
one
to
claim
it.
For
Nandan,
that
dream
comes
true
on
a
night
after
a
double
shift.
He
makes
sure
to
ask
the
empty
street
in
almost
a
whisper,
'Kisska
Bag
Hai
Yeh?"
(whose
bag
is
this?),
when
no
one
replies
he
heads
home
dragging
it
along
with
him.
Nandan
goes
on
to
name
the
bag,
have
conversations
and
even
dance
with
it
out
of
pure
joy,
all
while
hiding
it
from
his
nosy
neighbours
and
unsuspecting
wife,
a
‘poojari's
beti'
who
wouldn't
accept
the
unearned
money.
Vijay
Raaz
As
Bala
The
fun
begins
to
get
real
when
bodies
start
dropping
as
the
top-notch
politician,
who
was
sending
the
money
to
another
top-notch
politician
begins
to
look
for
the
bag.
Two
rival
gangs
and
a
corrupt
cop
start
chasing
the
bag
as
soon
as
they
find
out
about
its
contents.
While
no
one
will
rest
until
the
bag
is
found,
Nandan
has
just
one
problem,
how
to
spend
all
the
money
without
being
found
out.
Gajraj
Rao
As
Minister
Patil
The
story
is
predictable
from
the
get-go
but
the
makers
don't
shy
away
from
it.
The
screenplay
is
slow-paced
but
it's
the
dialogues
that
work
best
for
the
film.
Written
by
Kapil
Sawant
and
director
Rajesh
Krishnan,
the
simple
greed-centered
dark
comedy
never
misses
a
moment
with
its
comic
timing,
thanks
to
the
talented
cast.
Kunal
turns
out
to
be
the
perfect
actor
for
this
'aam
aadmi' satire.
He
also
manages
to
play
off
serious
dialogues
with
a
quirky
charm.
When
guns
are
blowing
off
and
he
is
asked
"Kis
gang
ke
aadmi
ho?"
all
he
says
is,
"Mein
Laata
ka
aadmi
hu".
Ranvir
Shorey
As
Inspector
Kolte
Though
Ranvir
Shorey,
Vijay
Raaz,
and
Gajraj
Rao
don't
get
a
chance
to
show
off
their
talent,
they
do
not
disappoint.
While
Vijay
Raaz
as
Bala
and
Gajraj
Rao
as
Minister
Patil
will
crack
you
up,
Ranvir
Shorey
as
Inspector
Kolte
brings
the
little
bit
of
danger
and
seriousness
the
film
needs.
Overall,
Lootcase
with
an
improvised
and
intelligent
script
could
have
turned
out
to
be
one
of
my
all-time
favourite
comedy
films,
but
it
ended
up
as
a
one
time
watch.
Yet,
such
a
simple
film
could
mean
much
more
when
people
are
stuck
on
their
couches
and
just
want
to
be
entertained.
