RK🎬Toaster (2026) is a Hindi-language dark comedy-thriller released on Netflix, marking a notable production venture for Rajkummar Rao and his wife, Patralekhaa, under their KAMPA Films banner. Directed by Vivek Daschaudary, the film stars Rao alongside Sanya Malhotra and features an ensemble cast including Abhishek Banerjee, Archana Puran Singh, and Farah Khan.
The plot centers on Ramakant (Rao), a notoriously stingy middle-aged man living in Mumbai with his wife, Shilpa (Malhotra). Their daily, mundane life is disrupted when they purchase an expensive ₹4,999 toaster as a wedding gift for a friend. When the wedding is abruptly called off, Ramakant becomes obsessively determined to recover the gift, triggering a chain of absurd mishaps, blackmail, and even murder investigations. The appliance itself, having been donated to an orphanage managed by a sharp-tongued manager (Farah Khan), becomes the center of a chaotic, high-stakes hunt.
Critics described Toaster as a "whacky" dark comedy that explores urban loneliness and greed. While the film was praised for its sharp first half and the quirky, tense atmosphere, many reviews noted it became tonally inconsistent and overcooked in the second
