The official trailer for Cocktail 2 (Hindi) has encouraged lively online discussions across social media. Starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna in a modern take on friendship, romance, and chaos, the film hits theaters on June 19.
Reactions are sharply polarized. Many viewers praise the trailer’s glamorous visuals, sun-soaked locations, convertibles, beach vibes, and Pritam’s energetic soundtrack. Supporters highlight the leads’ chemistry and describe it as a “refreshing,” “feel-good” entertainer capturing Gen-Z relationship messiness.
However, a large portion of the chatter expresses disappointment. Many miss the original Cocktail’s effortless charm. Critics labeled the trailer “verbose, incoherent,” filled with “cheap WhatsApp jokes,” and accused the female leads of overacting or competing poorly.
Movie buffs hope that the humour is not forced in the larger context of the movie. "While the trailer is disappointing, one hopes the love triangle has more to offer," a netizen commented.
Additional buzz surrounds rumored lesbian undertones between Kriti and Rashmika’s characters, which the team firmly denied at the trailer launch. Cocktail 2, whose climax seems to be emotional, is directed by Homi Adajania and produced by Maddock Films.
