You can watch it if you are looking to enjoy a light movie. Even if you skip it, you are not missing out on anything.

Coffee With D is strictly avoidable. Don’t waste your money on this one!

If you love Sunil Grover and Pankaj Tripathi and wish to enjoy a light, sans song and dance flick this weekend, this one is for you!

Coffee With D aims for conversational comedy, but it never quite hits its stride. Grover, the television actor best known for his mimicry-based characters Gutthi and Rinku Bhabhi, is miscast as the hero of the enterprise. Grover doesn’t have the ability to command the big screen, and the absence of clever dialogue leaves him visibly floundering.

D for Damn you cosmos, for allowing this injustice.

This is not a film. It is a waste of time.

What do we learn about Dawood, thanks to ‘Coffee With D’? That he diverted the Malaysian Airline Flight 370, because he was travelling from KL to Karachi, but the flight itself was headed to Beijing. He just landed the plane in his house, and the missing passengers are now his servants. Eh? This is not even funny.

If you have got absolutely nothing to do this weekend, you could consider watching this film.

Honestly, though, I would prefer watching Sunil Grover on The Kapil Sharma Show instead.

When the film is about Don Dawood and an Arnab Goswami doppelganger, you expect jokes galore. What you get instead is this craving to run as far away from theatre as possible.

Coffee With D is like an unfinished unpolished version of what could have been a rollicking run-in into a ruminative session between Indian’s biggest fugitive and loudest journalist. If only it had been allowed more leg-space to lunge in the lap of the ludicrous.

It could have been good film, but the undoing of Coffee With D is its post-production. The film is let down by shoddy editing and a bad dubbing job where entire sentences are muted and out of sync. A story that has potential is ruined by poor execution that distracts you from the plot.
