'Cocktail 2' movie review: Homi Adajania and Luv Ranjan stir up a flavourless concoction
A designer summer entertainer riding on the natural charm of Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, the rom-com fizzles out after initial bursts of energy.(more)

Cocktail 2 Movie Review: A breezy love triangle elevated by Shahid and Kriti�s charm
The first half remains breezy and engaging, with stunning visuals of Sicily and the easy, fun equation between the trio. However, the premise of a lover testing their partner feels immature, while the story and screenplay progress in familiar ways.(more)

Cocktail 2 Review: Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Rashmika Mandanna's Film Reduces Relationships To A Joke
Homi Adajania's directorial methods accommodate for the predilections of a new generation of filmgoers but do not let go of the emphasis on endless conversations.(more)

Cocktail 2 Movie Review: All decor, no depth
Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna struggle to lend empathy to two of the most off-putting female protagonists in recent times, in a frustrating rom-com that�s too flippant and incurious. (more)

Cocktail 2 review: Modern love, loyalty test and script that belongs on reality TV
The story follows a long-term relationship disrupted by a glamorous new entrant. But the visual polish and big ideas cannot hide the weak emotional stakes in Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer.(more)

Cocktail 2 movie review: Shahid Kapoor shines as film trades its gloss for melodrama
Cocktail 2 coasts on glossiness and too much talkiness, overlaid with Pritam�s ever-present background music. The reprise of the still-popular songs, including Tum hi ho bandhu, is flat: all emotions are underlined and overstated, just in case we missed the stuff going on between the three.(more)

Cocktail 2 REVIEW: Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Rashmika Mandanna's Starrer Has Right Amounts Of Drama, Dance And Confusion Apt For A Perfect Romantic Watch
The crackling chemistry between the trio works, despite the story not promoting a threesome relationship in any way. The BGM is an added bonus that keeps the story engaging. The dialogues though heavy at times, land perfectly and reflect the reality many couples face today. The songs most of which are already viral, transport you to Italy and make the narrative more immersive.(more)

'Cocktail 2' review: Homi Adajania-directed sequel has its heart in the right place

Cocktail 2 Movie Review: Kriti Sanon shines over Rashmika Mandanna and Shahid Kapoor in a film that's dull and lacks the spark of the original
Despite its glossy visuals, chart-friendly music, and strong performances, 'Cocktail 2' struggles to find an emotional core. What begins as a promising love triangle soon turns into a drawn-out romance that offers style but very little substance.(more)

'Cocktail 2' review: A fizz-free, tedious love triangle
The heavily laboured love triangle here is between Kunal's saintliness, Diya's anxiety and Ally's aggressive sexuality. The women appear sillier and sillier as the 150-minute film drags on with seemingly no end in sight.(more)

Cocktail 2 Review: Shahid, Kriti & Rashmika's Love Triangle Is Immature & Inferior To Prequel
The film often resembles an extended glamour shoot or a music video rather than a relationship drama. At times, it even carries the exaggerated tone often associated with a Luv Ranjan-style romantic comedy. The tonal shifts are equally baffling. After highly controversial and emotionally charged scenes, the film suddenly cuts to comedy sequences that feel disconnected from the narrative.(more)

'Cocktail 2' Review: Promises Vintage Champagne, Settles for Lemon Soda
This cocktail goes down easy enough, but it lacks the potency, burn, and aftertaste that made the original linger.(more)

Cocktail 2 Review: Kriti Sanon�s Rebellious Love Triangle Pulls Off a Decent Rom-Com Despite Length Issues
Within this familiar setup, the film delivers a mediocre rom-com with a few weak moments scattered throughout, yet remains fairly watchable. It never feels boring, which is definitely a plus. However, the second half suffers from noticeable length issues, which might dampen your chances of revisiting it.(more)
