Lootcase is a story of a man from going rags to riches and vice-a-versa for the other characters in the story while making you laugh.  The story starts, and we meet a normal-looking aam-Adami "Nandan" who is coming home after completing his shift and stops to pee. Any person who could be at his place would run fun fast home or blow a cigarette, but unlike any normal man, he bumps into the trash, and a suitcase fell. Intrigued by the same, he dares to open it up by looking at every possible direction for its owner. And, as he opens it, it seems like he has opened his fate too. The bag is filled with cash up to ...

Sometimes we drown so deep in the ocean of desires of wanting a materialistic thing, that we forget about relationships that matter more than worldly possessions. Mirza played by the versatile actor Sh. Amitabh Bachchan, in Gulabo Sitabo , learns this truth at the very end of the story. Gulabo Sitabo Movie on amazon prime , deals beautifully with the human mind where they showcase how a man can immerse so much into his/her desires and needs that he/she forgets that what is sustainable, worldly things or the relations.  Ayushmaan Khurrana, who plays Baankey, always try to remain in his comfort zone and is convinced that no filthy tactics of Mirza could make Begam evict his family or the other tenants from the Haveli. Hence most of the times, Bankeey comes up with excuses for not paying a meagre rent of 30 rupees to Mirza. Though,  it would be a great injustice to the film if the actors are given importance based on the screen appearance they have. Hence Juhi Chaturvedi, the ma...
