Cocktail

Thumi ho bandu, sakha tumhi! :D

Despite the obviously ripped off songs, this one refuses to go out of my mind.

Oh well, it started out alright. Saif playing the only thing he knows best - the chocolate lover boy / long nosed butterfly flipping from one girl to the next (it worked out great in Hum Tum, not too bad in Salaam Namaste, but seriously dude, how long? Are you even the guy who came in Parineetha?? Doesn't look like it :-/ ), Deepika showing us that she can drink and vomit (ah yes how did I miss it?) and pee and of course "party" (but to be fair, her role was the one that was most intriguing), that Meera girl (I don't know her name) doing I don't know what. I dunno why she fell in love with Saif, I dunno why she went back to her hubby after getting chucked out from Deepika's place (come on.. this was the guy who ran some shady car joint and had insulted her badly and left her on the streets!), and I certainly don't know why the movie focused on the aforementioned husband having a plaster on his nose at the end but did not even imply that she was responsible for it!! And what a stupid ending for god sakes. I would've been content even if they had shown that they work out a threesome! Imagine my frustration.

Due credit should go to Boman Irani, who made cliched parts funny, Dimple too for the same reason. Deepika was not too bad. But why did she accept this film in the first place?? I should probably thank the Fame Lido theatre group for enhancing the experience by switching off the power every half an hour and not having enough diesel for the generator.
