About The Last Coffee
Shoib Nikash Shah created an uninteresting story that’s boring and sometimes dull. The screenplay flits between the present and past, often creating confusion for viewers. In spite of that, the story doesn’t do much to keep the viewer’s fascination. Climax is not up to par and the ending is odd. Shoib Shah’s lines are good.
Ankita Lokhande is decent as Iram. Shoib Nikash Shah does a decent job as Rehaan. Mansi Sharma lends fair support as Aayat. Rani Bhan (as Iram’s mother), Jagdish Raj (as Iram’s father) and Anjana Mishra (as Rehaan’s mother) are the main actors in smaller roles.
Shoib Nikash Shah’s direction appears rather typical. In the musical (Tuhin Biswas) front there are two songs that are okay. The lyrics (by Shahid Kazmi, and Shoib Nikash Shah) are okay. Tuhin Biswas Background music is average. Luxmi Chand’s camerawork is standard. The production design (by Rakesh Dogra) is not something to be shouted about. Krishnaa’s editing leaves something be left to be.
THE LAST COFFEE MOVIE Synopsis
For a love story that is set in such a picturesque location, ‘The Last Coffee’ is served cold. So, if you don’t mind slow-paced romantic tales, this one might pique your interest.
THE LAST COFFEE MOVIE Story

THE LAST COFFEE MOVIE Review
Writer-director Shoib Nikash Shah, who also plays the lead Rehan, tells the story of a couple who were once married but are now estranged due to misunderstandings. In the opening scene, Rehan and Iram (Ankita Lokhande) are in front of a judge for their divorce. But, before the final hearing, Rehan invites Iram to have one last cup of coffee with him. The universe, on the other hand, has other plans for them as the two are trapped together due to the snowstorm, forcing them to confront all of their emotions. The story revolves around whether or not they reconcile.
Set in Patnitop, a town in Jammu and Kashmir, the film simply looks gorgeous. Every frame captures the snow-covered houses and close-up shots of melting ice from the rooftop beautifully, making it visually stunning. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Rehan and Iram’s love story. During their last coffee, the story is told in flashbacks of how they originally met, fell in love, and progressed to this point.
Shoib’s direction is up to the mark, but his writing is inconsistent, causing the events in Rehan and Iram's lives to unfold in a confusing manner throughout, making it difficult for viewers to connect with what is happening in the protagonist's life. Overall, this 80-minute film is slow-paced, but it contains a few heartfelt moments.
The Last Coffee's acting pleases in parts. Ankita Lokhande looks stunning and shines brightly in emotional scenes. Shoib Nikash Shah plays Rehan with conviction. Individually, both Lokhande and Shah have performed well, but their on-screen chemistry is a little off. As a result, it is easy for viewers to lose interest in their stories.
The dialogues are quite average, but the shayari throughout the film is well-written. Music is an important part of any romantic film, but the soundtrack here is only passable.
For a love story that is set in such a picturesque location, ‘The Last Coffee’ is served cold. So, if you don’t mind slow-paced romantic tales, this one might pique your interest.
