Ok guys back with the review. Firstly i want to make the comparisons of Cocktail 1 & 2. I agree story is different and characters are different but still there are some underlying similarities & difference.
I did not like Cocktail 1 writing as i hate such writing of betrayal & infidelity in relationships & friendships furthermore Cocktail 1 has no story. If the film worked its due to the music & the character Veronica played by Deepika. Imitiaz best work and writing has to be Socha Na Tha & Jab We Met as those films from the beginning interval & climax and ending he weaves the characters & ends it beautifully after that his writings for other films goes downhill especially the climax & ending is so weak. Cocktail i hate the thrash he written and the ending too. What clicks with me.was Veronica amazingly.written character.
Veronica- she is a coconut,the woman is wild party girl booze dance flings thats how her life is, this is one side of her personality. There is another side of her personality whom is so complex,there is this broken lonely girl who yearns for love and this girl has a heart of gold. She does not show her inner self and the reason is so that noone can break her heart. This is another personality of hers. She is so complex that i just connect with her pain. She has a character depth beyond that fashion queen status. The woman is a emotional mess and self-destructive. She hurts herself rather than hurting the people she loves. Veronica era we did not discuss about her fashion but more on her character depth. This woman makes you feel all kinds of emotions for her. I really felt bad when she was begging that cheater jerk and ready to change herself for that creep. I was like girl you are the best there is no need to change your personality for anyone. You are your best friend & partner. Deepika lived it. The girl personality is her strength but she is so broken that she even ready to sacrifice her self-respect that was slight prick for me
Meera- One comfused soul she said she does not love her best friend's boyfriend yet she has feelings for him. When for a temporary moment she got her love,she forgot her best friend who was once the gf of the man she loves and how lonely the girl was. I dislike Meera character. She betrayed her best friend.
Gautam- i hate & despise his character. A cheater who use a woman for his physical pleasure than when it comes to marriage he needs a traditional girl. What a shallow character. He is the main root of all the chaos.
I don't even understand how the hell Gautam fall for Meera. There was no connection at all
The only character i relate to is Veronica. She is complex but the girl has a heart of gold. If she is self-destruction in love she is equally sacrificing in friendship and for the people she loves
Cocktail 1 was more of complicated and complex relationships
I hate the ending because Gautam deserves to go to hell. Both girls should have dumped him. I hate the ending
Next coming up is for Cocktail 2
