Cocktail looked promising going by the trailers. Well from now on I will try not to watch trailers of any upcoming movies. They spoil all the fun. From now on its a rule of thumb, not to expect anything new or mind blowing from any film. It will help in enjoying the movie.

The movie started off well. Veronica and Meera's friendship, given their entirely contrasting personalities is fun to watch. Enter Gautam, the dialogs and scenes are very hilarious. "Daaru desi" song shows how good the trio's on-screen chemistry is. Then the "Tumhi ho bandhu" song. It is the best part of the movie. Diana Penty is very charming in the song sequence. The music gave me goosebumps.

Then the routine "love triangle" starts. The sequence where Veronica finds herself lonely in the fully crowded pub is fantastic. Her acting skills have improved a lot. She has done a pretty good job. She took this role as a challenge and gave her best.

The second half gets boring but picks up towards the end. Randeep Hooda though very talented has too little a screen time. Diana Penty has done a decent job. Saif was as usual charming. Deepika added the spice factor to the movie. And the music is another important asset to the film.

Cocktail is not a great movie and Nothing compared to "Love Aaj Kal", which can be viewed multiple times, but all-in-all its a time paas movie.
