‘Cash’ movie review: Amol Parashar starrer is relatable, quirky, and entertaining joyride

Hotstar’s new comedy film, ‘Cash’ starring Amol Parashar is relatable and fast-paced. Cash is set in November 2016. When demonetization hit India and is aimed to launder illicit money and earn crores for himself. When his insane ideas fail, his business methods quickly turn into nightmares for him.

Rishabh Seth is the director of the film. The cast includes Amol Parashar, Kavin Dave, Gulshan Grover, Swanand Kirkire, Smiriti Kalra, and Pawan Chopra. Cash is a clever craft comedy caper with twists, surprises, and subtle performances that will have you riveted to your screens until the very end. The audience can identify with their characters’ ambitious streaks, who are street-smart and brazen when it comes to making a quick profit. The concept of demonetization is cleverly exploited to form the core of the plot, but it also feels stretched beyond a point with too many people and issues tossed in.

Armaan, who refers to himself as the paidaishi CEO, is a normal middle-class boy. He aspires to make it big in life through his intricate business strategies. But he is yet to achieve success. During demonetization, he discovers a fantastic opportunity. Armaan undertakes an impossible assignment with his girlfriend Neha (Smriti Kalra) and his closest buddy Vivek Sodani aka Soda (Kavin Dave) his partner-in-crime to launder 5 crores of “dirty” money in fewer than 52 days before banks cease accepting old notes. 

Does the casting do justice to the characters?

Amol Parashar is terrific as the daring young Arman, whose drive to launch new firms is admirable. Amol’s portrayal of the character is convincing. As he continues to propose ideas for people to rent everything online from maids to mothers. As his close friend, Kavin Dave provides strong support. While Smriti Kalra makes a confident debut as Neha, who understands how to get her way in a male-dominated environment. Gulshan Grover plays the amusing evil guy who terrifies no one. Even when the context isn’t precisely laugh-out-loud humorous, the film’s brilliant punch lines provide a lot of amusement. The songs are neither melodious nor memorable, and they serve mainly to lengthen the film’s runtime.

Final review 

‘Cash’ is a refreshing take on a serious event that has far-reaching economic consequences. While the film never goes into the seriousness of demonization. The movie is relatable, quirky, and entertaining joyride.
