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."
"Rajkumar Rao ka new movie Toaster on Netflix is a good one time watch, makes you laugh here and there," commented a user on X.
Another user shared, "A solid, family friendly but slightly uneven crime comedy in my opinion 7/10."
Giving a critical take on Toaster and Rajkummar Rao's performance, a user wrote, " Can someone send an annual supply of DESI GHEE to @RajkummarRao so that he stops exploiting the issue & accept relatable roles? #Toaster is Cringe. This is not Cinema."
