Cocktail Review

 Cocktail is a typical bollywood masala movie with the elements of comedy, romance and emotions in it.

       The movie is about a spoilt brat-Deepaka Padukone(Veronica) ,a playboy- Saif Ali Khan (Gautham) and a typical indian cultured girl Diana Penty (Meera). Fate brings the threesome together, making them best of friends.Veronica being Gautham's girl,the three start living in the same house.But when Gautham's mom(Dimple) comes to see her son's love interest,she mistakes Meera as her would-be daughter-in-law. They have no option but to continue the drama till his mom is with them.Eventually,Gautham falls in love with Meera and even she develops feelings for him.Veronica,too, becomes serious for Gautham by now.This is where the story takes a turn and the relationships become complicated. 

 

The three friends separate from each other, but their friendship and love for each other is too strong and deep to bring them back together.Veronica realizes Gautham's true love for Meera and helps in bringing them back together.

                The director Homi Adajania has done a wonderful job and is very clear of what he wants to present to the audience.He handles the unpredictable human feelings and behaviour pretty well. 

                

           The dialogues are funny and fresh. The music is too good.Tumhi ho bandu and Daru desi are fun songs while the slow melodious yaarian and jugni touch your heart.

           Saif Ali Khan has shown his funny side with an excellent comic timing.He has done a good job in the emotional scenes,too. Diana is a typical girl next-door and is good with her work. Deepaka Padukone does a rocking Bindaas act and also beautifully brings out the deep hidden feelings of a lonely girl who feels betrayed. Boman Irani is at his comic best as always.Dimple does a decent job as well. Randeep hooda has very few scenes as Meera's estranged husband but he does justice to his role.

        Overall a good movie with great performances which will definitely appeal to the youth as they can relate to the characters and the situations. A sensible comedy indeed!
