What fault was of Gautam and Meera in Cocktail? - Page 4

This had potential to be a good movie. Gautam didn't deserve either girls at all, He shouldn't have end up with either Meera or Veronica. If the movie would've end with Meera and Veronica choosing eachother over a man then this would've been a really good movie.

But still it was a decent watch.

Meera did just that---she chose Veronica over Gautam. Good thing Veronica realized her mistake and let go of him.

I wanted the girls to kick him out and for him to get syphilis and die.

OMG 🤣

That movie was regressive as hell. In the end, guy goes for a sanskari woman. Women should be free from judgement on what they do in their own personal lives. This movie showed us again that men prefer women who are HOMELY.

Meera wasn't homely, she was stunning.

For those who support Meera and Gautam.

It wasn't about the characters, it was about what the movie said.

There is even a line from Saif which says women who cover up are more attractive. Then, Dimple's character which feeds Veronica all the crap about sanskaari behavior.

Yeah, right. Veronica took in a stranger, gave her a home, and supported her. She supported herself working. She was an exemplary human. Yet she was judged by her clothes and the number of lovers she had.

Meera was an ordinary girl. She didn't judge Veronica. In spite of breaking the girl code/sis code, I continued to like her (sometimes heart does what it wants) until she kicked Saif out. Afterward, instead of either supporting Veronica or living on her own, Meera chose to return to her scummy ex hubby as though that was supposed to be big self sacrifice.

Later, when Veronica gives the green light, SHE more than kept the girl/sis code. Meera couldn't even see Said for the scumbag that he was. Sleeping with the westernized chick but planning to marry the Indian chick. What might have happened after they got married? I hope Meera learned a nasty lesson.

I dislike Gautam for his cliched scumminess of being the stud with modern chicks but opting to marry the untouched virgin.

I dislike Meera because she was a fool. Period.

Gautam kept calling her when Meera left Veronica's house. He even chased her while she had been living in a hotel. It's common sense he'd keep chasing her even if she leaves London. So she went to her husband for a few days to make Gautam feel there is no point chasing her now. And she eventually leaves when Gautam stops stalking her. Her intention was never to be with her husband.

That actually makes it worse.

So not only did she imagine it as some self sacrifice, she lacked the spine to say no and stick to it, ending up using another chap to do her dirty work.

yeah, and they tell us that Gautam and Veronica are very similar, but only Gautam gets to settle down and marry a nice sanskari ladki because ... he is a guy? Moral of the story, boys will be boys, but girls should be chaste.

Matlab? Can't homely woman look stunning .. are these two terms exclusive ??

I don't think the characters (Gautam and Meera) are irredeemably evil or anything (they were kinda shitty, but that's about it).

But it's the writers' mindset and intent that I ( and I'm assuming most critics of the film) dislike...
