Netflix's latest original release, Toaster, has quickly made fans discuss Rajukmmar Rao and Sanya Malhotra's dark comedy on social media platforms. Unlike the typical comedy, the film uses a simple kitchen tool to portray the story of a miserly man, who goes to great lengths regarding his 'Toaster', unfolding chaotic events in his life.
Toaster Movie X Review
The Netflix original Toaster was released on the streaming giant on April 15, 2026. Within just hours of its release, social media has already started buzzing, highlighting a divided audience. While some viewers praised Rajkummar Rao for his energetic and comic performance in the film, some of them expressed disappointment, calling it slow-paced and lacking consistent laughs.
Praising Sanya Malhotra in Toaster, a user wrote, "Spunky and sincere, what can't she do? #SanyaMalhotra lights up #Toaster every time she's on screen with #RajkumarRao."

A disappointed user wrote, "You can't even watch 30 minute. One of the worst movie of this year. Toaster completely fails in storytelling, acting, and execution. The plot makes little to no sense, the pacing is painfully slow, and the performances feel forced and unconvincing."

Another user shared, "A solid, family friendly but slightly uneven crime comedy in my opinion 7/10."
Toaster teaches us an important lesson in life if you sow so shall you reap and this is portrayed from all characters of the film but it holds true especially for Rajkumar Rao (Stree) and his character.

Rajkummar Rao was good but jokes didn't land well for most of the part.
Had potential but let down.
Farah Khan was good. Sannaya all right https://t.co/WvZ8w36Umo
There's something about Rajkummar Rao in Toaster, just feels so real. Makes the whole comedy vibe land. #RajkummarRao #Patralekhaa #Toaster

Rajkummar Rao never misses. Toaster is another win. Dark comedy that actually hits. #RajkummarRao #Patralekhaa #Toaster

I quite enjoyed TOASTER, the excessive Netflix comedy where Rajkummar Rao plays a penny-pincher who hesitates to pay the ultimate price.
