Almost a week after its release, ‘Cocktail 2’ continues to do well at the box office, crossing Rs 100 million worldwide within six days. However, despite its commercial success, the film has received mixed reviews from audiences and critics. The latest to speak his mind is a writer and columnist Shobhaa Dewho did not hesitate to share his review of the film in which he stars Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. Shobhaa posted a video after watching the film and wrongly comparing it to the original. “I just left looking at Cocktail 2. Well, Cocktail 1 isn’t it. Woh Cocktail kya tha, yeh kya hai. I feel like I need five negronis to get through this one,” he said.The writer went on to criticize the story, although he had praise for some aspects of the film. He added, “Iska na mutu na mchira, kuch bhi nahi hai. This story is pointless. Shahid, you need a new haircut, even though you are the best part of this film. But the star is Sicily – I wish there was more Sicily. Rashmika, I am very sorry but Hindi films are not for you. Kriti, you look so good, you have a big problem;“Shobhaa also questioned the script and themes of the film, expressing dismay at the story and acting.“But the story, can it be more and more meaningful? Two women fight with Shahid, who then gives a lesson. And then the best line comes from Shahid, who says, ‘Love is something you can enjoy for a few days, there is no love.’ It is full of lies gyaan. Clichés of the worst kind. Good jokes every now and then. But don’t even try to compare it to a cocktail, and five negronis await, here’s my capsule review.“However, it is so Saif Ali KhanSaba Ali Pataudi’s sister’s comment that caught the attention. Saif was part of the first ‘Cocktail’ along with Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. Saba wrote, “I wanted to binge myself;) but IGET u! U missed the part.. forget to fight him.. how can his feelings be taken lightly or ignored?;) 1 loved K. He nailed his part! R was good but south cinema is better…. Shahid did his part. I loved the scene n music! Love but not 1 song!” Directed by Homi Adajania‘Cocktail 2’, the romantic drama has managed to attract audiences to theaters and emerged as a box office hit, despite mixed reviews. According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the worldwide collections have reached Rs 102.76 crore within six days of its release, helping it cross the coveted mark of Rs 100 crore in less than a week.
