With a tantalizing title "Cocktail" is an amazing mix of fun, party, emotions and love and connecting each of them is a web spun by Director Homi Adajania.
Cocktail is a spicy concoction of three lead actors. Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone are funny and so natural (not expected generally). New face Diany Penty amazed me. She is cute and her subtle expressions are cuter. I'm not quite sure about her future but the "Meera" in Cocktail impressed and emotionally touched me.
From the trailers and promos, we see 3 friends who have fun in a foreign location and Saif (Gautam) making out with both the lead ladies.
The plot of Cocktail is not that simple. It somehow connects every viewer with some instance in their life.
The Cinematography was just brilliant. Superb colour and lighting. The background score from Salm-Sulaiman was decent and gelled with the visuals so nicely. Pritam's music was surprisingly foot tapping and hummable.
Melodramatic scenes were touching and Sreekar Prasad's editing carried the movie at a fair pace. Not too many unwanted scenes. Cocktail right from the start to finish is a drink which is naughty and then turns spicy and finally ends sour. By the time you finish the drink, you are in love with it and would want to revisit it sometime later.
Boman Irani and Dimple Kapadia are seriously legends. Performance wise Deepika is awesome and hotness wise..umm..I admit..She is Hotttt..but only in this movie. Diana delivers a mellow performance as her character asks for. Randeep Hooda chips in a small portion and does it well. Saif is unexpectedly fun and he plays his character with ease. Looked like this was written specially for him.
While the first half was super cool, the second half was serious but it was spellbinding. It gripped me as I continued to watch the movie..sometimes controlling my tears.
Watch Cocktail for its spicy story and watch it for the lead actors. I'm sure you'll love it.
Rating: 3/5
Cocktail: Gets you 'high'!
(P.S. I'm emotionally sensitive, so i love such movies)
