#Cocktail2: WINNER.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
More than lives up to expectations... Solid performances, superb music, stunning visuals, and captivating writing – this film scores on all fronts. #Cocktail2Review
Get ready to be surprised... Yes, #Cocktail2 is a love triangle, but it doesn't follow the conventional template... Nor does it take the tried-and-tested route... In fact, unpredictability is its biggest strength.
Director Homi Adajania, who also helmed #Cocktail [2012], ensures that the sequel bears no resemblance to the original or, for that matter, to any other love story... The film captures the spirit of modern-day romance while retaining the emotional core that made the first part so popular.
Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain's writing is undoubtedly one of the film's biggest strengths.
The first half, set in #Sicily, #Italy, gives the film a spectacular visual appeal... The colours, the songs, the chemistry between the lead actors, and the unexpected twists make this portion rich – technically, visually, and emotionally.
The drama intensifies in the second half and, barring a slightly underwhelming pre-climax stretch, the film concludes on a thoroughly satisfying note.
Pritam's music is one of the strongest pillars of the film... A love story demands a memorable soundtrack, and #Cocktail2 delivers three smash-hit tracks, the best being #Mashooqa.
#ShahidKapoor is in top form... Emotionally effective and completely at ease in both dramatic and lighter moments... He simply knocks it out of the park in the penultimate sequence.
#KritiSanon delivers the finest performance of her career... She handles some of the most challenging moments with remarkable ease... In fact, she emerges as the film's standout performer.
#RashmikaMandanna [@iamRashmika] does her best, but her character doesn't get enough scope to truly shine... Also, she needs to work on her Hindi diction to make a stronger impact.
⭐ Final word? #Cocktail2 has all the ingredients to emerge as a major boxoffice success.
So #Cocktail2 is set to shock the naysayers with its opening tomorrow- SET FOR A FLYING START . The film’s advance sales have picked up drastically over the last two days.
Spot bookings are expected to be stronger than usual, as the film seems to be generating more buzz among millennials than Gen Z audiences.
A ₹11-12 crore Day 1 opening is virtually locked. Don’t be surprised if the film touches the ₹14-15 crore nett mark on its opening day as well.

So happy with all the positive and surprisingly crazy reviews that I’ve been reading online for #Cocktail2 ! ❤️
This movie will definitely take all the viewers by surprise, also the kinda movie we’ll not seen for the longest time..
So excited to watch it today!
Happy birthday @shahidkapoor ! ♥️ You’re class apart, you’re a masterpiece, you’re the main character. It’s not a cake walk to make girls (and boys) swoon over a person for 23 years straight but you’ve done it and you keep making it harder for us. I love you everyday ♥️😘
Grateful for the steady love and support from audiences everywhere! 🙏✨

Before I talk about Shahid, I wanna take a moment & give the spotlight to #NanaPatekar & @tamannaahspeaks 👏🏻
If screen presence was to be invented, they would’ve been the pioneers. They appeared & the theatre erupted.
I’ve never been this impressed with a starcast before. #ORomeo
I feel like Shahid is on some samaaj seva route bc it can’t be a coincidence that every movie he is taking up has so much of screen presence for the female lead, who later becomes the sensational actor nobody can get enough of..
