Does any one find cocktail regressive?? - Page 2

There is nothing wrong in your understanding, it is definitely a regressive movie. I despise the fact that society tolerates Man's casual affairs or his extra or premarital sexual relationship saying that men are tend to do all this , but the same society consider women sinner if she indulge in pre or extra marital or casual affairs. I literally felt frustrated when Veronica tries to become Meera by making Biriyani or by picking Saif's clothes for laundry .

When Veronica said only I knew the value of him , I was like what value , he is nothing but a coward and a double standard guy .

That movie was so bad, I didn't even feel like analysing it.

For me, the most W*F part was watching 2 gorgeous, amazing women fight over Saif! And I am not even talking about his looks or how much older he is than them. There was just nothing likeable about his character in the movie.

To be honest yes! Saif's character was very regressive. He falls for Meera because she is a sanskaari girl and a girl who parties is labelled as a "wh**e". But the songs and performances were good. Deepika stole the show for me as Veronica. ⭐️

When the trailer came out, they said it wasn't the usual love story. So, I thought it must not have the usual love triangle. While watching, I was hoping that Deepika's character would want to be Saif's wife after meeting his mother, because she wants to have a family. Since we saw that her parents are least interested in her life, I thought she must crave for some family and must have felt that marriage with Saif would give her that. So, she would want to marry him for that reason but also keeping it clear about not loving him.

The only thing I didn't like about this movie was Veronica desparetely wanting to be with Saif's character (Gautam ?) . Otherwise both Meera and him deserved each other.One hypocrite a**hole and another backstabber.

And I guess , that is the main reason people loved Deepika in this movie,cause Veronica was at least honest .

None of the characters were likable.

Gautam was a chauvinistic a$$hole, Meera was typical saanskari meethichuri and Veronica the despo.😕 Only felt a little bad for Veronica & didn't understand why she was so obsessed with a loser like Gautam when she could have gotten anyone she wanted. I think she lacked self-esteem.

Veronica was never in love with Gautam; she was in love with the IDEA of stability, family, home and the IDEA of love. It was discussed her parents were absent in her life and were never there for her.

saif's character was regressive, but meera's character was wrong too..never understood why Meera fell for him...She was married. She was staying with someone who helped her out when she was on the streets... To "fall" for the friend's man is sick 🤢🤢 And worse part was deepika's character crying over him! 🥱

Yes it is quite regressive
They showed that only a shaant susheela sanskari girl is marriage material
And girl who like to party or drink are not fit for marriage
I did not feel an iota of sympathy for Meera
As she knew that Veronica loved Gautham still she came in between them
I felt so bad for Veronica only as she did not deserve rejection
But then again Gautham did not deserve either of them as well

I am confused between Love aaj kal and Cocktail because of same actors. I will have to watch again to see if it is regressive.
