Jun 21, 2026 12:00 PM IST Cocktail 2 Movie Live Update: 'The entire narrative revolves around giving Kriti Sanon larger-than-life moments' A post on X page CineHub read, "WATCHED #cocktail2 and it’s a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT The biggest problem with the film is that it feels like it is designed to project #kritisanon as a SUPERSTAR which she is not !

The entire narrative revolves around giving her larger-than-life moments, but the writing never justifies them.

Instead of feeling ORGANIC, everything comes across as FORCED and ARTIFICAL just like its Box-office numbers The 1st half is still DECENT and has a few entertaining moments because here I liked the CINEMATOGRAPHY and some scenes are GENUINELY WELL DONE.

However 2nd half completely RUINS the film with no Proper Setup, no EMOTIONAL payoff and events keep happening randomly without any impact !!

And then the CLIMAX is filled with weak logic and OVERDRAMATIC monologue that feels IRRITATED #shahidkapoor is the biggest LOSER here.

He gets one of the POOREST WRITTEN ROLES of his career and hardly gets any opportunity to showcase his ACTING RANGE !

Throughout the film, it feels like he’s only there to support Kriti’s character and make the story revolve around her which is Weird !!

While #kritisanon looks stunning and delivers a sincere performance, but the EMOTIONAL DEPTH required to make the character memorable is simply missing as the writing is WEAK. #rashmikamandanna is completely WASTED with very little to do, and her dialogue delivery in HINDI needs to be IMPROVED, please What made the original COCKTAIL special was the emotional connection with its characters, #deepikapadukone 's AURA and SONGS but here you don’t feel invested in anyone as it lacs that core, that character arcs which stays with you after film ends!!

OVERALL, #cocktail2 is an ABSOLUTELY BELOW-AVERAGE FILM that isn’t even worth a one-time watch !

If you are planning to watch any FILM this weekend then go and watch #mainvaapasaaunga."
