Critic Reviews
Cocktail 2 (2026) Review: A Soft Landing for a Franchise That Needed a Sharper Pour
★★½☆☆
Homi Adajania’s Sicily-to-India love-triangle sequel looks expensive and moves slowly — Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna work harder than the script. Celluloid Score stays Not Recommended.
Franchise curiosity only. Beautiful locations cannot rescue a love triangle that restates Cocktail (2012) without the original’s messy charm.
