#ThreeWordReview Bollywood rom-com superhit. Bollywood is loved all over the world for the cinema (rom-com) which the South industry can never make. #Cocktail2 is a great film of the same genre. The film delivers a very ‘relevant and down to earth message’ focusing on modern relationships and commitment. Shahid Kapoor has done wonders!

Praise for acting: The audience is liking Kriti Sanon’s acting very much. She has added the right touch of glam and emotion to her character.
