NDTV’s write-up on “Cocktail 2” presents a negative assessment of the film, attributing harsh opinions to what appears online. The report says the sequel is directed by Homi Adajania and is a follow-up to the 2012 film “Cocktail,” which originally starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. In the write-up, some internet commentary characterizes the second film as an “absolute nightmare” and describes lead actor Rashmika Mandanna’s casting as a “miscast.” The coverage focuses on the overall reception reflected in online reactions rather than detailing specific scenes or performances beyond the general claims about the film’s quality and casting choice. Together, the sources indicate that the prevailing tone of the response being highlighted is critical, with particular attention paid to the film’s execution and Mandanna’s role.
