What Does Cocktail 2 Revolve Around?
The film revolves around college sweethearts Kunal, a chef, and Diya, who works at a corporate firm. They’re in a live-in relationship and have known each other for about 16 years. They’ve braved long distance, arguments and Covid-19 and emerged as the perfect couple who has figured it all out together or so it seems.
But relatives and elders are hell bent on getting them married. The lovebirds, however, are happy just staying together without having to formalise their relationship on a piece of paper. To escape marriage questions during the wedding season, they decide to jet off to Sicily with the money they’ve saved by not splurging on a big fat Indian wedding.
There, they bump into Ally, Diya’s friend and roommate at Trueford University. The girls meet after ten long years and pick up from where they left.
Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 is produced by Dinesh Vijan, Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg. The screenplay has been written by Tarun Jain and Luv Ranjan.
Cocktail 2 Review
Cocktail 2 received a 2.5-star rating from News18 Showsha. “Cocktail 2 wants to bottle the upheavals of modern love but is too afraid of spilling any of it. For all its talk of complicated relationships and emotional infidelity, it remains too safe. The designer clothes and postcard-perfect locations stand out but this intoxication is fleeting. Once the high wears off, you’re left with a rom-com that’s little romance and even lesser comedy,” a part of our review reads.
