Positive Points

The ensemble cast is the strongest part of this film. While both Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra do their best to bring their characters to life, other cast members like Seema Pahwa, Archana Puran Singh and Abhishek Banerjee have moments in their performances that rise above the group's very low bar.

Negative Points

Toaster fails entirely in its execution. The writing has no bite and the comedy is rarely funny. The scenes feel manufactured and drawn out, which adds to the slow pace of the film. The screenplay is disjointed, bouncing around from one ridiculous situation to another without any build up of tension or interest. The comedic elements of the film seem dated and repetitive in nature as well. Rao is not able to save the weak screenplay even with his strong screen presence. Several of the supporting characters are underutilized as well; including Farah Khan, who has only a brief role in the film.

Verdict: In short, Toaster was a let down in terms of dark comedy. The screenplay was weak, paced poorly and did not provide any variety in humour. Because of this there was no real value from having a talented cast and so then became forgettable. The audience probably got more frustrated than entertained by Toaster.
