Review of Cocktail (2012) by Prashant C — 15 Jul 2012

Expected much better from the creators of Jab We Met/Rockstar : Imtiaz Ali, the writer and Being Cyrus : Homi Adajania, the Director. After a promising first half with enough crackling chemistry between the leads and smart dialogues and premise, an extremely insipid second half has your expectations going downhill like a rollercoaster lost control.

Saif sleepwalks through the umpteenth metrosexual smooth talker, Deepika is alluring enough and Diana performs well for a debutante, while the screenplay plays the villain. Dimple and Boman have delightful cameos but cant save the sinking ship at the end, as can't Pritam who surprisingly is at his uninspirational worst.

If you have nothing else to do then you might barely like it, as also if you keep your expectations quite low!
