Story-Line
“This film looks a lot like Love Aaj Kal”, quipped a friend. He added, “And Saif looks too old.”
Those very lines have formed a very significant form of pre-release expectations that have surrounded the film as soon as the promotions commenced. The director of the critically acclaimed English-language Being Cyrus, and the writer who has already earned star status for himself, writing and directing films like Jab We Met, Love Aaj Kal, and Rockstar; interesting combination, isn’t it? It’s more so like the successful pair of Love Aaj Kal comes together, this time with a few new changes. Hit music, a terrific on-screen pair, a promising new face, a return of a director, and the expectations of a successful writer who’s able to generate the ‘connect’ factor with his every film – heady Cocktail for a slice of the “Good Times”, right?
Meet newly wed sweet-and-simple Meera (Diana Penty), who is hit on by glib Gautam (Saif Ali Khan) at the airport on arrival, kicked out by her cheating husband, and brought home for shelter by wild Veronica (Deepika Padukone). Interestingly enough, Veronica and Gautam cross paths and get into a relationship, which leads to the three of them staying together, thick as friends, wild as people, insane as hell. A little bit of lust, a bit of love, a bit of friendship and a bit of morality play – all of it mixes into a Cocktail that makes you laugh and cry, and gives you an uncertain edge.
