Cocktail : Hindi Movie Review and Critics Ratings

Cocktail : Hindi Movie Review

Average Rating: 3/5

(Based on web reviews)

Stars: 3.5/5

Cocktail deals with the fun moments and then the emotional turmoil faced by three Indian friends settled in the UK, whose paths cross inadvertently.Cocktail does have some terrific highs.

One is Deepika Padukone's performance. Easily the best in her five-year-long career; Deepika also looks sensational throughout. You almost wish the camera had stayed her longer on her in that red itsy-bitsy bikini. DP will definitely win notices and nominations for her near-faultless performance of the rich-spoilt-neglected-girl-with-a-heart-of-gold.

Saif is terrific in parts, insipid in others. And the other DP, Diana Pentymakes for a pretty picture; but she could certainly do with some polishing. Randeep Hooda as a rake, running a hoax marriage business, is completely wasted.Pritam's music is charged and chartbusting. While tum hi ho bandhu and daaru desi are right on top; yaariyan and jugni are stirring and soulful.The dialogue is funny; even outrageous with lines like--`I'm carrying his bun in my oven' and `you're lonely-I'm characterless.'

However what Cocktail should be truly applauded for is its permissiveness. As a film it breaks shackles and ushers in a new free spirit that Gen-Now will relate to.

Tip off: Go see Cocktail with your closest friends. It will definitely strengthen the bond.

On the whole, COCKTAIL has a fascinating first half, charismatic performances, harmonious music and the trendy look and styling as its aces, but the second half is not as tempting or intoxicating as the first hour. It pales when compared to the attention-grabbing first hour. Yet, all said and done, this one's primarily targeted at the Gen Next, especially those in metros, who might identify with the on-screen characters.

The film is shot beautifully. Both the London and Cape Town portions looked picture perfect. Take a bow, cinematographer Anil Mehta! Mention must also be made of Pritam’s pulsating score, his best in years.

All-in-all, it’s a nice urban romance. But again, this isn’t how I would like to describe a Imtiaz-Homi collaboration. You expected something with a twist, what you get is a pat too sweet – a Bloody Mary without the Vodka.
