Cocktail 2: If work had been done on these 5 episodes, from the old love triangle to the weak second half, the film would have become a cult classic like before!

Cocktail 2 Five Drawbacks: Do you remember Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty’s ‘Cocktail’ which was released in 2012? The songs of that film, its story and Deepika’s ‘Veronica’ style are still present in the hearts of people. Now, after 14 years, the second part of this film i.e. ‘Cocktail 2’ has been released in theatres. This time Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna are in lead roles in the film. There was a buzz about the film for a long time and it has arrived in theatres. The film is getting good response from the audience, but it has some flaws which fail to leave the cult classic ‘Cocktail’ behind.

shahid kapoor After watching the film ‘Cocktail 2’, the public is saying that the film is good, looks great, but if a little more attention was paid to these 5 things, then this film could have become a cult classic like the first part. Let us understand those 5 weak links of the film.

1. The same clichéd love triangle

The story of the film revolves around Kunal (Shahid Kapoor) and Diya (Rashmika Mandanna), who are living in a live-in relationship without marriage. Both are very happy, but then enters Ellie (Kriti Sanon), who is Diya’s old friend. After this, the same old confusion starts in the story. Two friends and a boy! Today’s audience has become very practical about relationships, so they may find this love story a bit old and cliché.

2. Confusion about characters

At some places, the confusion between the characters has been prolonged longer than necessary, due to which it seems that the matter is being twisted unnecessarily. It is not necessary that a love triangle is always so complex.

3. Melodrama after intermission

Although director Homi Adajania has kept the first part of the film very cool and fun. It is fun to see the beautiful valleys, expensive cars and luxurious lifestyle of Italy. But as soon as the second half starts, the film suddenly sinks into heavy wedding lehengas, maangtikkas and weepy melodrama. The pace of the film becomes so slow that the audience starts getting bored.

4. Lack of depth in characters

The role played by Deepika Padukone in the first film was very broken from within and bold from outside. But in ‘Cocktail 2’, Kriti Sanon has worked hard to look glamorous and do emotional scenes, but due to the weakness of the script, her character is unable to touch the hearts of the audience. The emotions of the film seem very loud, which does not seem natural.

5. Remakes of songs fell flat

Superhit songs from ‘Cocktail’ like ‘Tum Hi Ho Bandhu’ are still the life of parties. In this new film, a new remake version of the same iconic song has been included, which sounds very ordinary and dull. The background music is good, but after coming out of the theatre, there is not a single new song that hits your tongue.

Overall, ‘Cocktail 2’ looks very beautiful and modern, but its thinking is similar to the old films, where in the end the boy’s will remains supreme. If you are a fan of Shahid Kapoor and want to watch a movie just to pass the time on weekends, then you can watch it once.
