Beginning in 1998, Sundar C's coffee With Kadhal tells the tale of three brothers vying over a schoolgirl. When the story jumps to the present, it reveals that they are still at odds with one another over their love relationships.

The elder brother ravi (Srikanth), who is married to Radhika (Samyuktha), has a one-night stand with sara (Raiza Wilson), who ends up engaged to his brother Saravanan (Jiiva), who, after being cheated on by his live-in partner Neetu (Aishwarya Dutta), falls in love with Diya (Malvika Sharma), who happens to be the fiancé of the youngest brother Kathir (Jai), who is trying to marry her only because he has eyes on her father's property, while he is actually in love with Abi (Amritha Aiyer), his childhood friend, who, after waiting for him all these years and finally realising his intention, has agreed to marry a family friend (Ananth Nag).

If the film's convoluted plot gives you the willies, its shoddy writing, stiff acting, and badly antiquated speech only serve to heighten our anxiety. Consider these: "Wife-a wife-a paatha prechana dhaan. Wife-a life-a paaru!" "Attraction aayiram per mela varalam.. Aana affection oruthar kitta dhaan varum."

Even yet, the premise's ridiculousness feels like the perfect fodder for Sundar C's type of comedy. However, for some reason, the director decides to approach this like a drama and tries to be subtle, only to succeed in the exact opposite way. This director struggles with restraint, and his attempt at a subtle, understated drama results in some very awkward moments, especially when the actors' performances seem to have been put together from the NG takes. The oooos, aaaas, and mmmms in Yuvan shankar Raja's background soundtrack try to evoke emotions in us, but it simply comes across as a vain effort.

When he returns to his signature comedy of confusions in the stretch leading up to the intermission, we can see how much the entertainment value of the movie increases. Even though the humour in these scenes doesn't compare to what we've seen in the director's prior movies, it's clear how much more enjoyable the movie would have been if the director had chosen to go in this direction instead. Instead of serving us this tasteless concoction, he might have played the "This or that" game that the characters play when they are undecided and wisely chosen to embrace his over-the-top brand of humour.
