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.
