Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Sarah I was repulsed by this film's message so came to IMDb reviews to assure myself there are other sane people in this world too, which I'm glad to say there are. Who exactly was this film made for? It's made for primarily MEN and weak incapacitated women who despise feminism.I'm not a feminist but this film saddened me.Veronica is a liberal lady living in the West, she's rich, enjoys life, parties and comes across as a good person. However she is not Human. How can she be? She's not a virgin, she drinks alcohol, she wears shorts, has boyfriends.....So then comes "saadi shareef" Meera who Veronica with her kind heart lets into her house, only for Meera to then STEAL her boyfriend.And that is the story. Saif and Meera live happily ever after.The film clearly sides with Meera. She is portrayed as a gentle soul rather than a psychopathic devil who steals her best friend's boyfriend. Veronica's feelings do not matter because she is IMPURE because she is not a virgin. And Saif, well he is a man, so obviously a HERO. It's not even relevant how many women he's screwed over before opting for "pure" Meera.Uuuuugggghhhh.... what an awful film.Fellow sisters, there is nothing wrong with being educated, confident, having self-esteem and making our own choices. We should boycott films that promote messages of misogyny where a woman's worth is only her so-called purity that is her virginity, no matter if she destroys the life of her liberal sister since our liberal sisters do not have hearts and thus have no capacity to feel LOVE. LOVE is only for the shy sweet woman who slyly steals and slays hearts. Zero stars for such a crap message this film sends.

Aparna Gangopadhyay Cocktail – 2012 Indian FilmMeans – Cocktale – Tale of a cockMain Characters – 3 in numberI.He is the male who is a womaniser.Likes to party – booze, dance, flirt.Name in film – Gutlu (gautam)II. She is a maniser*.*Female who readily agrees to sleep with any male who catches her fancy – opposite of womaniser.She likes to booze, party and even perform strip-tease if she so desires – not for money – just for fun.Name in film – VeronicaIII. She is ordinary – duped by a wicked male.She maintains a decent decorum – does not believe in diving on bed with just anyone.Tries to maintain chastity in spite of an ass*ole of a husband.Name in film –Meera.cocktail-2012-movie-review-aumaparnaStory Line – CocktailSo in the film Gutlu, the flamboyant womaniser, falls in love with Meera and suddenly becomes all goody-goody..maybe because Meera did not agree to sleep with him so she became kinda enigma for him and he started to yearn for her only! Veronica, the happy-go-lucky whore – who slept around with men just for fun and not for money (like for example she had 8 siblings who she had to feed plus ailing parents … so she had to become a prostitute….nothing of that sort…no mushy-sob story here) falls in love with Gutlu!She (Veronica) found Gutlu to be an ideal match for her (which he was actually) simply because he was a womaniser and she was a maniser! Both had their priorities very clear in life – that anyone can meet a better looking sex-partner anytime in life so no one should expect chastity and loyalty from the other one! Both were free to 'happily hump' anyone who caught their fancy anytime!Whereas Meera was the kinds who was totally loyal to a man with whom her marriage did not even consummate! Her husband had fled to London immediately after marriage as he never wanted a typical ganwar (uncouth) Indian wife.So Meera's character was very new to Gutlu! Usually it took him a fraction of a millisecond to take a female to bed…but Meera did not show any interest whatsoever to mingle with him! Both Veronica and Gutlu used to sleep together in the same apartment where all three of them lived.Anyways – a twist came in the tale – here is where the cock tale begins!Gutlu happens to smooch Meera. Being a pro in kissing available whores, Gutlu probably did a good job which totally shook up Meera! That was probably her first kiss in life. Had her husband kissed her on time – maybe this twist in the tail of Veronica had not come at all! Now Meera was in love with Gutlu and Veronica was in lust with Gutlu. Gutlu chose love over lust!Veronica tried to appear all lovey-dovey for Gutlu – she started copying Meera in her ways and mannerisms but it was too late! Veronica realises that Gutlu did not want to sleep around anymore! He was not responding to her 'mating calls or nuances'.In the end, Gutlu marries Meera.Will Veronica also find someone like Gutlu – an ex-womaniser turned loyal for limited time? (oh yes – once such people bed the 'enigma' they re-start their flirtatious nature again! Sex is a highly addictive drug for humans- they cannot get over it easily…and it is said 'once a womaniser (or maniser) always a womaniser – maybe 1 in a million change under some catastrophic circumstance – like maybe meeting with some accident and becoming paralysed below abdomen(like what happened to Hritik in Guzarish – euthanasia….or suffering from erectile dysfunction).Will Meera live happily ever after with Gutlu…or keep doubting that he is sleeping around – even when he is genuinely stuck in some traffic jam on his way back from office.Will Gutlu live happily ever after with Meera…or he will find some sexy siren in the office he works in…and will take her to bed….All this remains a mystery!

prianka-guru First half of 'Cocktail' : Super fun, 2 Best friends (Deepika and Diana) and a guy (Saif) have fun, joke, do silly stuff, make the audience laugh. Concept looks fresh, Deepika are Saif like each other, live in together, sleep with each other, have fun, neither is interested in a commitment. I thought I could watch this movie over and over again.Second half : Hopeless, very typical Bollywood Love Triangle. The guy falls for the 'Desi' girl. why?? This could have been a cult movie, with such good looking people who suited their characters so well. The music was fantastic.Performances : All 3 (Deepika, Saif and Diana) have acted well. Saif was extremely funny at times and no one could have pulled off the character of Veronica as well as Deepika did.I would have loved the movie if Saif would have fallen for the Deepika (the girl who parties and drink and has fun).Bollywood is yet to get over the good/Desi girl and bad girl concept.Its definitely a one time watch.

tj_muna This movie is just for time pass! Nothing special i can say. There is so much lacking in this movie and Saif should really work hard on his acting. He should grow up. Deepika was okay. Diana could be better. Concept was not bad. But Imtiaj as a director does not work out on this one. Script was fast. Movie has not much dramatic moments. There can be add much more exciting moments.The first half, light and frothy for the most part, is fun, while the second half gets maudlin and labored more than it needs to.Songs are enjoyable but not memorable. As comedy, the movie contains some funny scenes but with this it can't be said as comedy movie. Overall, you can see this movie if you want to see light and worthless movie.
