Toss (2009) *LQ*

By octron • Sep 1st, 2009 • Category: 2009, Thriller

Toss is a suspense-thriller in the mould of Johnny Gaddaar where a bunch of guys get hold of a huge chunk of money and want to get rid of each other to get a bigger share of the moolah.Josh (Ashmit Patel), Samy (Prashant Raj), Ryan (Ranvijay), Sahsa (Aarti Chhabria) and Sherry (Madhurima) are returning from a picnic when they stumble upon two trunks loaded with Rs 25 crores. While Samy doesn’t approve of, the others decide to share the money amongst themselves. Meanwhile, Dada (Mahesh Manjrekar) who the money actually belongs to is behind this group. Amidst misunderstandings and double-crosses each one tries to outdo the other. But destiny has different plans.Nice concept to read on paper but ask about the execution and juice in the screenplay to keep your attention focused. Well it’s a downer on all counts. Completely unbelievable screenplay from the word go and unnecessary camera juggling throughout the film increases your already spinning head! Music is of the fast forward variety. Direction by debutante Ramesh Khatkar relies more on technical gimmickry than narrating an interesting story.

While the film starts off very crisply without wasting any time to get to the point, after a while it starts dangling around. Some utterly unnecessary song-dance-drama and stupid dream sequences make the proceedings slack and lousy. The interval point is too contrived and there are too many loose ends to the suspense unfolding. The second half gains pace but is stretched so long that you lose interest. The editing is too lazed out for a thriller and the sepia tone cinematography appears dull and dated. Though the film reaches an interesting climax, too much harm has been done by then.

Its good to take young actors who are less exposed on screen but why make each one of them show dollops of attitude at the drop of a hat? Also none of the actors – Ashmit, Prashant Raj or the gals can be termed actors, they are basically non-actors and worst amongst is the popular MTV VJ Ranvijay. Luckily he gets bumped before the interval and you are saved of the torture to endure him throughout the film! He should stick to his VJing we hope! Vijay Raaz, Mahesh Manjrekar and Sushant Singh make the film somewhat bearable as they are the only ones who seem to be taking it all seriously.

Toss is a waste of time..just avoid!
