Reviews
Coffee with D garnered predominantly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike, reflected in its low ratings — IMDb giving it a 4.4/10 score and Rotten Tomatoes holding it at around 17%. Critics largely pointed out that while the film had an interesting concept centered on a satirical take of Bollywood’s darker shades, it faltered in screenplay and pacing, failing to maintain audience interest effectively. A review on IMDb states, “The movie desperately tries for wit but ends up being clichéd and overly dramatic,” criticizing the lack of subtlety. Similarly, Rotten Tomatoes’ aggregated feedback highlighted uneven performances and an inconsistent tone that detract from the film's intended satirical punch. Some appreciated Sunil Grover's effort to step beyond his comedic roots, but most reviews noted that even his charm couldn’t salvage a script weighed down by predictability and uninspired dialogues. Overall, Coffee with D was seen as a film with promising themes that unfortunately succumbed to poor narrative choices and execution challenges.”
