SBO Reviews
Flip your penny on this one, and if it lands up head's, make a tail end to exit.

Toss is long, very long. Its three hours of mediocrity which is tried to laced with style, but the style just vanishes into thin air after the first few minutes and all that remains is long unedited scenes for you to put up with.

It’s the story of this group of friends who stumble upon two bags on one of their outings and decide to take them back home with them. Turns out that the bags contain something of great value, which they decide to divide among themselves. Now starts the confusion and the long cast only add to the chaos. The twist and turns of the plot and the intentions of the characters keep on changing as each one starts getting bumped off.

Rajpal Yadav who plays the key-maker who opens the bags should be banned from roles playing the cool guy where he has to utter English words. He takes the c out of the coolness factor. Fortunately his attempts at being cool are cut short here with a massive blow by a shovel, but it always serves are a hazard in future movies.

Amongst the group of friends, Prashant Raj is the humble hack whose intentions are fraught with ominous implications. Ranvijay is the perennial joker of the lot. Aarti Chabaria is the girl with the black heart. Ashmit Patel is the wanabee smart Alec and Madhurima Tuli is the dumb damsel mostly in distress.

Zakir Hussain the bad guy from Sarkar is the uber efficient police officer with a strange personality and a very apparent fake moustache. He is the mandatory, ever nagging, smart-ass police officer that all these type of movies need to have who reaches strange places in strange circumstances and interviews people in a funny way. He probably runs a Banana republic because its very easy to keep on killing people under his jurisdiction.

It also turns out that the real owners of the bags are not far behind. Sushant Singh and Mahesh Manjreker play the baddies amongst the group of already turned baddies, whose genealogical antecedents you might question but they have the most natural and rib tickling scenes. Natural actors that they both are, they don’t leave any room for error in their roles. They play brothers and have a sidekick in a much younger brother too, who when not on his video game carries body bags with ease and ensures that the knife is properly stabbed into a man's body. Child violence might be a bit visual but what the heck he was a part of the bad guy’s team anyway.

The good things that come out of the movie are the music which is foot tapping, nice to the ears and very in sync with the story. Worth listening to once, and if you like it, more than that. Prashant Raj, who’s white and then black character, is efficiently portrayed and the chemistry between Sushant Singh and Mahesh Manjraker which leaves you in splits.

If for the editing this would have been a watchable movie but for now whatever side you bet on in the toss, you are bound to lose.

We liked the performance and looks of Madhurima Banerjee in the role of a simple, silly, married hippy girl who values love more than money.
