[a poor movie without any depth]

Cocktail (2012)
IMDB- 6.0
RJG Rating- 40

3 people meet each other under unusual circumstances.Will they stay friends for long?

Starring- Saif Ali Khan,Deepika Padukone,Diana Penty
Director- Homi Adajania

Cocktail is the usual romantic comedy with the same cliched characters we have seen over the years.

The movie is headed by Saif Ali Khan,Deepika and new comer Diana Penty.Saif does the same role which he did in Love Aaj Kal.The same casanova approach with comedy sprinkled all over it.Unfortunately he goes over the top most of the time and he isnt too funny either.Deepika too is typecasted as the wild party girl.She too doesnt do very well either.Delivering cheesy lines and acting too casual ,seems to be Deepika's only abilities.Diana Penty ,the new comer,is the only one who acts normal.

Cocktail at first glance is the usual 'love triangle among friends' plot ,and it is ,but the way its presented is a bit different.Unfortunately the characters arent well developed to handle these changes to their advantages.Thus the story fails to be realistic and the choices made by the characters seem out of place.
Along with this,Deepika & Saif's character are completely unrealistic.A guy who just gets any girl,and a girl who gets a guy everyday.The morals set by these leads

Direction by Homi Adajania ,is overall poor.The dialogues are cheesy and the movie just clutters forward.The first 5-10 minutes were plain horrible,the first half has a bit of comedy ,while the second goes into melodrama and nonsensical.For a romantic movie,it barely is one.Chemistry between the 3 friends is poor.And when one falls for the other ,it barely lacks any sense since their emotions and expressions are just vacant.

Overall ,Cocktail is a below average movie and can be seen just for timepass.

Acting- 2/5
Story- 2.5/5
Direction- 1/5
Comedy- 1.5/5
Romance- 0.5/5
