Revisiting Cocktail in 2026, film that punished Deepika's Veronica for being herself
Homi Adjania's Cocktail, while celebrated for its music and performances, subtly declared Veronica the imperfect woman in the love story. As Cocktail 2 arrives, here's revisiting the 2012 film starring Deepika Padukone, Diana Penty and Saif Ali Khan.
On Wednesday, the makers of Cocktail 2 released Bandhu 2.0 - a newer version of Tumhi Ho Bandhu from the original Cocktail (2012). There was nothing particularly new about it, which sent me straight back to the first one. I loved that song then, and I love it now. The only good thing about the new version is that they haven't changed much at all. But I missed Diana Penty's charm, Saif's goofiness and Deepika's sheer vivaciousness. This new version just reminded me how good the original was and sent me down a rabbit hole I probably should have seen coming.
