The Netflix film 'Toaster' delves into the life of Ramakant Mishra, a man whose extreme miserliness drives a tragicomedy. His wife, Shilpa, struggles with his penny-pinching ways, which escalate after a gifted toaster becomes an object of intense dispute. Ramakant's pursuit of the toaster sets off a perilous chain of events.
The plot thickens when a memory card containing a politician's scandal is hidden within the toaster. Subsequent attempts to retrieve it result in accidental death and blackmail, with the toaster becoming a coveted item for various individuals with hidden agendas.
The climax unfolds at Yazoo Park in Virar, Mumbai, where a confrontation leads to further fatalities. The politician, MLA Amre, arrives seeking his scandalous video, unaware it was lost with a victim. He inadvertently consumes the memory card, highlighting his duplicitous nature.
