Coffee With D is fun in a ditzy way

Movie review: Coffee With D is fun in a ditzy way

Isn't it amazing what a slew of talented actors can do to an outrageous idea? Think of "Coffee With D" as a boys' day out with Dawood, and you will actually enjoy the implausible goings on. This is a what-if idea carried to an extreme of satirical eventuality but laced with lots humour and saved from a catastrophic plunge to inanity by actors who know how to hold the dialogues even the words run all over the place. "Coffee With D" suffers from a fundamental flaw. It presumes that a film about a clash between 'Dawood' and 'Arnab'(the Gangster and the Newshound) would generate instant drama. It does. And it doesn't. While Sunil Grover makes an interesting getaway from his comic avatar on television to play the vociferous newshound with straightfaced selfimportance, Zakir Hussain's Dawood is priceless.
