Kriti is a good actress its not like this is a first film to talk about her screen presence or performance. Her performance is the same so is her screen presence but in this film its too much of skin show and seriously i have serious issues with her outfits and styling at the same watching with my mom who likes Kriti in general did not like her outfits. It was uncomfortable.
Maybe you can tag us as conservative or regressive mindset but lets keep it straight forward. Everyone has freedom but freedom too has a boundary and a line that cannot be crossed. Those outfits,you know guys how SM zoom and post every parts of Kriti's body in SM. Its disgusting to even see those pics they pose and praising it to sky heights. They literally have no respect for a woman. She is a woman and i will blame the Anaita and team to make her wear such revealing outfits that even she stand straight without doing anything,people can take pictures by zooming close to her body parts. I would rather wish she wore what Deepika wore as Veronica in Cocktail. In this whole film Kriti was just flaunting her body with those bras and skimpy outfit and her character has no depth. Its just skin show that elevate her screen presence and got praise sky heights. Not everyone is talking about her performance which is good but more on how stunning & sexy she looks,her bras,those revealing outfits and people zooming her body parts and posting it in SM.
While during Cocktail 1 discussion and praises for Deepika was both her performances and her outfit. The main discussion was the character depth of Veronica rather than the fashion queen she was. That the difference
I prefer Rashmika over Kriti here. Though limited she had a character depth in Diya. Her vulnerabilities,insecurities and confusion was beautifully portrayed by Rashmika with a poorly written character and limited screen time. Furthermore most of Shahid-Rashmika scenes were cut too. As for her accent she is playing herself in the film a south indian hyderabadi girl so its not an issue here. Too bad those reviewers can't even notice it that it was highlighted in Tujhko song and SR scene too when Shahid too imitate the south accent
As for chemistry Shahid-Kriti looks hot and great. No doubt. But i love the chemistry of Shahid-Rashmika it was so warmth natural and beautiful & it was not explored well because too much of Kunal-Ally unneccesary scenes i would rather watch Kunal-Diya emotional scenes. It was good in the last 15 mins especially the female Tujhko version
An actor can give 100% to a character when its well written. All 3 characters were under written unlike Cocktail 1. Kriti is only skin show,Rashmika being a brilliant actress could not do much due to the scenes cut that cause limited screen time & that goes same with Shahid too though he elevate the character in the climax. The climax was beautifully written and love his chemistry with Rashmika.
