'Coffee with Kadhal' review: Convoluted romances, middling comedy ... (The New Indian Express)

The central conflicts of CWK are well-situated in a rather complex incestuous zone that needed level-headed writing.

There are multiple romance angles, multiple infidelities, multiple cameos, and a lot more things in multiples, and this chaotic atmosphere is where Sundar C thrives the best, and he does, albeit in parts. But, the sensibilities of CWK are still very rooted, even if it gets a bit toxic in certain places. The central conflicts of CWK are well-situated in a rather complex incestuous zone that needed level-headed writing. The performances in CWK are inconsistent because the film doesnโ€™t really go deeper into the dynamics of their equations. The others are a bit shortchanged by the random turn of events that would have worked better if Sundar C had stuck to his strengths in comedy. Also, most of the characters in the film, apart from Varshini and Radhika, are quite selfish with a disturbing moral centre.
