LOOTCASE (PG)
[Showing at all Nu Metro cinemas in KZN]Nandan Kumar, a middle class, family man, finds a suitcase with ₹ 10 crores in a lonely, desolate market on the way back from his night shift. He hides it from his morally upright wife, Lata, and his little son, Ayush, whom he dearly loves and wouldn’t trade for anything. He now believes the suitcase is the divine answer to all his lower-middle-class problems. He starts talking to the suitcase—as if it were his long-lost pal. Meanwhile, the suitcase’s dark past catches up with him. With absolutely no special skills or talent, he has to make a choice: Does he fight or does he take flight for survival? What would you do if you found a bag full of cash? Nandan Kumar faces a similar dilemma when a bag triggers a chain of chaos in his life.
