Cocktail 2: Why didn’t Ellie get sympathy like Veronica? Understand the difference between the characters of Deepika Padukone and Kriti Sanon

Deepika Padukone Vs Kriti Sanon: Ever since ‘Cocktail 2’ was released in theatres, the only debate that has been going on among cinema lovers is whether Kriti Sanon’s character ‘Ellie’ can be compared with Deepika Padukone’s ‘Veronica’? Many people on social media are calling Ellie the second Veronica, but if we go deeper into the character, we will find that there is a world of difference between Ellie and Veronica. The person writing both the characters is also different and the impact of the writing style of both the writers is clearly visible on both the characters.

The year 2012’s ‘Cocktail’ was written by Imtiaz Ali, where there was a simple connection in the hearts of the characters and a compulsion behind separation. Whereas ‘Cocktail 2’ has been written by Luv Ranjan, in whose writing one can see ‘relationship test’, cleverness and amazing emotional drama in the name of modern love. This is why Ellie never Veronica Couldn’t create a sympathetic character.

Veronica was heartbroken, Ellie herself created the deception!

Imtiaz Ali’s Veronica was a carefree and open-minded girl, but her love was very true. Veronica and Gautam were together before Meera came into his life. When Gautam fell in love with Meera, Veronica was heartbroken. He lost his love, which made the audience truly sympathize with him. But ‘cocktail 2The story is completely different. Here Dia (Rashmika Mandanna) asks her friend Ellie (Kriti Sanon) to test the loyalty of her fiance Kunal (Shahid Kapoor). This method of Diya was very wrong, but what Ellie did after this cannot be justified. When Ellie started falling in love with Shahid, she continued pretending to be the ‘perfect bridesmaid’ instead of telling the truth to her best friend Dia. She kept planning the bachelor party and wedding events silently, which was like a stab in the back.

That scene of bachelor party and the drama of mangalsutra

For example, the bachelor party scene of the film puts Ellie’s character completely in the dock. When Kunal was calling Diya, Ellie did not tell this to Diya and to the extent that when Kunal called Ellie, despite Diya being awake, Ellie went to steal Kunal’s ‘private moments’ instead of telling her! Developing such secret intimacy with your friend’s fiance does not seem justified from any angle. Not only this, trying the mangalsutra of a girl who has not yet become a bride raises big questions on Ellie’s intentions.

imtiaz ali vs luv ranjan

The style of the writer plays a big role in creating these two characters. Imtiaz Ali’s characters had a moral compass, where Veronica had the courage to sacrifice her love for her friend. But in Luv Ranjan’s writing, the characters are often shown to be very gray and manipulative. if we shahid kapoor If we look at his character, he had no stand at all. When Diya talks about marriage, her answer is – If you want. In the gathering, he openly jokes that even if he cheats, Diya will not know about it. Because of this, insecurity arose in Diya’s mind. Diya was not perfect, her method was shoddy, but her suspicions were not baseless.

Diya certainly made the first mistake, but Ellie took such decisions again and again, due to which the betrayal of her friend became deeper. Therefore, comparing Ellie to Veronica would be an insult to Veronica’s true pain. Whatever Ellie is suffering, she herself is responsible for it.
