The Vigil Idiot: Cocktail

July 16, 2012 8:23 am by Sahil Rizwan

First, the good things about director Homi Adajania's Cocktail. It's a great movie to look at! Although, I suspect a lot of that has to do with newcomer Diana Penty (she plays Mira) being on screen for a substantial amount of the runtime. And Deepika Padukone's legs (as seen on the character of Veronica) have put in their finest performance in a short, but memorable career. But that's about all I took away from this film. It lost me the moment it showed Saif Ali Khan's character (Gautam), a software engineer who gets all the ladies. I mean, come on! Of course, that's not the only place where the writers forgot to keep it real. Keep scrolling and see for yourself.

Not just this...but every movie. Every time I read a VI review I never watched the movie. The thing is I want to watch this movie in the theatre as there is no big films I am interested in releasing soon.
