r/BollyBlindsNGossip on Reddit: Cocktail is the most problematic mainstream film of the last decade.
March 11, 2022 -

So I just saw "Cocktail" this week starring Saif, DP & Diana. And I feel that it was absolutely problematic.

Like the ML is a jerk. His family is regressive.

The parallel FL breaks the girl-code/backstabs still we are supposed to support her as she is "Abla nari".

The other FL is a "bad girl" because she drinks, has hook-ups & wears short dresses. And we are supposed to feel nothing for her when she gets cheated on & her bff gets into a relationship with her boyfriend when she was the very one who helped her bff from a crisis.

The overall message is you only get the guy when you do pooja, cry frequently, is a virgin, wear long dresses & "patao" the guy's mother.

And the guy can cheat on, hook up with & stay in the house of his girlfriend but will marry the "good girl" as the girlfriend is not "wife material".

And the parallel FL is only moral when she reunites her ex-boyfriend & bff.

Overall "Cocktail" promotes a problematic message that is evident in our society.

But the most surprising part is the story is written by Imtiaz Ali who gave us strong female characters like in JWM & Highway.

March 4, 2025 -

I personally love the movie but it is very flawed. Unlikable hero, poorly paced, bad dialogue, etc. Where I go back and forth on is if these flaws throw the movie into the guilty pleasure category or is it objectively bad and liking it means you have poor tastes? Cruise himself has said it's it his crowning jewel.
