On a hot summer afternoon if
you’re tired and need rest then go for Coffee Ani Barach Kaahi. It won’t matter
at what point you slept. By chance, if you wake up before the end credits you’ll
still be able to guess what must’ve happened. It is a slow paced girlie film
filled with typical Puneri Lingo
The story is a tad too simple.
Nishaad (Vaibhav) and Jaee (Prarthana) work in the same organization. They are
drawn to one another despite but are unable to express their feelings. In
between you have friends, family, relatives and acquaintances donning the hat
of an agony aunt. That’s it. Nothing more!! So forget about ‘Barach Kaahi’
(though you might see characters drinking coffee every now and then).
The script is predictable right
from the beginning. The director tries to make it entertaining by the some
wacky dialogues but it gets boring beyond a point of time. The biggest drawback
is that both leads are shown as employees of Persistent. Any Punekar can tell
you that life of an IT professional is filled with complications – whether at
work or home. It is never as easy (and simplistic) as shown in the film.
Prarthana Behere steals the show
as Jaee. Her makeup is better as compared to the oily one we saw in Mitwa (thanks
to Atul Shidhaye). Vaibhav Tatwawadi gives you the impression that his surname is
literally derived from his character. He plays a ‘principled’, yet confused person
who pays no heed to logical suggestions. In a scene his father is forced to
say ‘You’re annoying’ (makes sense. Doesn’t it?)
I’ve really lost the count of
reviews wherein I’ve said that Ila Bhate in any film is inserted purely for the
sake of ‘explanations’. Thankfully, here she’s found her ‘soul-mate’ in Avinash
Narkar who does just the same. Dont miss the scene wherein the character of
Bhushan Pradhan gets smitten by Jaee’s sister Abha (Neha Mahajan). She is the
pick of the supports.
I’m going with two and a half
stars for Coffee Ani Barach Kaahi. It might have failed to appeal to me. But, a
section of the audience, including mid-aged men, was moved to tears.
