COCKTAIL movie review







 Watched COCKTAIL today@LEPL INOX

The publicity department has rocked the movie with its publicity, making it one of the most awaited Hindi flicks in this Year. The songs are a win-win, right from its audio release. The concept of one guy, two girls and an emerging love tale isn't an innovative subject matter for Hindi movies. Lots of movies have come in recent times with similar kind of plot. But that ends the comparison with COCKTAIL. The romance & friendship with the threesome adds the necessary alcoholic content to this Cocktail.

Well, straight to the point...I feel that the movie is Above Average with different screenplay and dexterity in handling the three diverge characters of the script. The Concept is kind of fresh and narration of the movie is very kinda new.

Punchline : Awesome Threesome


Highlights:
  • Wonderful performances by the Deepika Padukone, Saif & Diana Penty.
  • Good Screenplay with right twists when needed.
  • Good cinematography by Anil Mehta.
  • Music by Pritam is good, especially when seen on screen.
  • Good climax and happy ending finally.
  • Costumes are not only graceful, but also, they definitely dictate the wardrobes of the youth.
  • Three divergent characterizations of the lead cast.
  • Background score by Salim Sulaiman are classy and blends with the script well.
  • The screen presence and chemistry between Saif and Deepika needs a special mention.
  • Deepika Padukone steals the show all through the movie and Nails her character to the core with ease (One of her best performances I would say).                

Lowlights:
  • Second half could have been crispier and narration at times, paces down in various junctures of the flick.
  • It isn't that regular entertaining kind of Bollywood flick. It gets well with the metro multiplexes and hence might not do well with regular movie lovers.
  • Second half lack the binding to the seats matter when compared to the first half of the movie.

My Suggestion:  Can watch it once, for the TRIO performances of the lead cast.

Well coming to the rating, it is 3.15/5 (This is my personal opinion on this particular movie - U watch the movie and decide for yourself).
