Finally someone talks about the downside of cocktail !! Deepika's character could have been much more worthy if creators put some mind and creativity in it !
I thought Cocktail ended with Veronica becoming a free spirit again? Granted she's more in control of her life now and it's implied that she doesn't drink as often now. Even more so now, that she tried to conform and failed at getting what she wanted. I thought each of the characters made sense, and had an arc, for the most part. Saif's character finally gets over his commitment phobia. Veronica reaffirms her nature by realising that trying to commit to a long only leads to misery, and the other girl figures out that its okay to be selfish every once in a while. There's also the interactions between the three leads. Each of them affect each others character. You may have a point, but in this particular movie I think it's debatable.
She was worthy ! I don’t understand why you all cringe about it! So basically you want someone remain the same no matter what happen to her. One someone felt some strong emotion like love then people change good way bad way , thinks logically , illogically but people changes as new people enter into your life and become core circle of life then it bound to change. You can not remain the same. That boy changed after he fell in love and why you are not okay being girl change after she fell for him? What’s wrong in change ? She was still free spirit and took stand for herself and kicked him out of his life and house. She was dealing with emotions as much as she could.
@@ashwindsouza606 I agree; that's a fair assessment. Also, it needs to be realized that given her grey shades, Veronica's desperation to get Gautam back was beyond palpable, so these histrionics didn't really take me by surprise.
Finally someone's called out what's always bugged me about Cocktail. Why was Veronica so hung up on cheater Gautam? Since when is hooking up with your literally only best friend's boyfriend okay? Except the exaggeration put in for comic effect, Veronica was a Queen slaying it until she bumped into these two - Generous, kind, confident and outspoken - and so gorgeous. Her character deserved better in so many ways - definitely not being demoted to a third wheeling supportive best friend to people who broke her trust.

@@ashwindsouza606 yeah true but hope veronica goes fk u both and doesn't keep em in her life she was heartbroken and being in contact with such ppl she has bad history with will always bring anxiety or sad vibes
@@ashwindsouza606 Hm. Different perspectives, I suppose. Gautam got over his commitment phobia when he saw the "goody goody two shoes" girl who wears conservative clothes and gets along with mommy. This is a girl who's literal scammer of a husband decided to turn over a new leaf to give the relationship another chance, but Veronica's relationship could never have worked because .. well, because. The deck is totally stacked against her, as I see it. As for Veronica, the last thing I remember was her running around trying to fix up the two - doesn't it end at that scene where they come over to reconcile with Diana's character and its happily ever after for the two lovebirds? Thats what I remember, but it's been a while so there may be some Veronica finds herself tidbit I missed.
Hated cocktail for just that reason that it ultimately became the typical bollywood 'hot gf but seedhi wife' story. Also ngl was really hoping at one point for Veronica and Meera to end up together.
Hahaha that would've been epic- although probably too risque for filmmakers then. Come to think of it, even if it didn't become a full blown romance, just girl friendship ftw would've been good for me too! How cool would it be if Meera kicked Gautam's ass for being inappropriate when he tried kissing her and told V about her asshat of a bf that she never thought was good enough for her girl!
About Tanu weds Manu returns: it happens in real life too, people glorify their toxic exes and choose them at the end, leaving the current partner in a mess🙂...... Because pehla pyaar is precious it seems🙂 so people create such movie endings to attract that sector of audience...
It just seemed abrupt and out of nowhere as multiple times Manu just seemed irritated at Tanu's persistence to want him back. I finally thought he's over it. Low and behold, back to the person that made your life hell
@@TriedRefusedProductions That's what toxic people do yaar!! 🙃🙃yeh log bolenge ki uss irritation k peeche pyaar hai🤣🤣🤣and these movies justify it, with all the lovey dovey songs, and portraying the current partner as the other man/woman 😒😒😒
I feel like we all have been there, glorifying the toxic ex, hoping to get back someday. There is always "the ex". Doesn't justify the storyline but a bit closer to reality
Been there done that.. I used to always turn back to that toxic ex till. Thank god one day realised enough is enough, but in another universe i wouldve been with her suffering endlessly. Now i have a beautiful wife and an amazing boy.
I'm so glad you pointed out these things in Tanu weds Manu and Cocktail! I was shocked to see everyone around me finding no issue at all when these movies first released .. Feels kinda nice that there is at least someone who agrees with me , grateful that you are explaining it so clearly here in such a platform ! 👍🏽
Although I didn’t watch the movie, I’d sanely say that Datto ironically escaped Manu and his screwed up family in a good way, just without even knowing the scarier scenes.
Frankly I disagree in the case of Tanu weds Manu Returns. It's been shown from the starting that Manu followed Datto only coz she looked like Tanu, that was the thing he fell for FIRST. Then we saw him being uneasy with Tanu around him during his wedding preparation, clearly not a man who has moved on. Yes, Datto deserved a happy ending, but who said her happy ending is Manu?
Actually datto was saved from that relationship. She was just a rebound. Plus if we remember part 1, manu kissed tanu while she was drugged. He totally deserved tanu.
I was happy that datto left Manu, it was not heartbreak but freedom from problems she might have faced. Jammy said he didn't understand why Manu choose Tanu at the end but what I failed to understand when Manu fell in love with datto or why he decided to marry her, just because of their faces. Manu was introvert not innocent in this movie, he married Tanu because he was amazed by her attitude and same goes to Tanu she aslo choose Manu knowing how he was and so in the end they choose each other. Manu even once called Datto Tanu, imagine her life with him calling her by his ex. Jammy also mentioned that Tanu is reason Manu was in mental hospital but aren't they both were there proving each other mental, so here Tanu won the argument so she is selfish. End was perfect I would say, Tanu and manu deserve each other and Datto deserve peace from their problems.
Finally, someone spoke my mind about the problem of "cocktail". You can do anything and everything with Veronica except marrying her because she is not like " Meera". I just hate this movie.
I remember how RHTDM used to have a sweet spot in our growing up years. Yesterday my husband and I casually switched in to watch it again, thinking it would be refreshing... probably after 10 or 12 years to watch it again. The 10 minutes into it and we were to irritated with Maddy's character and arrogant ways. Specially the scene where he ask girls to kiss around his friends. We just couldn't continue....and switched to Friends reruns🤦♀️
I agree. The hero's character in RHTDM is just plain annoying! Lying to get close to a girl and then getting all offended when he's rightly rebuked for doing so, then acting like Devdas and all...All round childish and toxic!
@@alonealien1474 what else was he supposed to do if not lie, she wouldn't talk to him otherwise & that was the only girl he ever fell for. He just took a chance & not with the wrong intentions but with genuine love
8:35 Even Ranbir thought the same way and rejected the film! Even after its huge success Ranbir still thinks the story is weird! I'm glad that he rejected the role 😌
Completely out of context but here it goes >> Manu's lack of willpower to just simply ignore the tantrums thrown by Tanu for attention would have cost Datto a lot more had the marriage actually taken place. So, whatever those two have in between them, Datto is no longer a part of that mess. She deserves the world for being so pure. ❤
Spot on Dear Anmol on that particular scene from Kanmadam- easily one of the best films from Malayalam cinema. The scene was out of place as was the sudden departure from Mohanlal Sir's character when he suddenly grabbed Manju's character.. That She was shocked to be in that position n later found out that she did care for him is natural but the fact that his character forced it out of her (without patiently courting her n waiting for her to respond) is clearly problematic.
Narasimham climax dialogue is pure objectification of a woman even though the hero was erudite. But few got offended by Mamooty in Kasaba where his character had grey shades.
@@SanithKK What is wrong is just that dear..Sometimes the viewers are so caught up in the grandeur of what the hero or heroine does,we tend to overlook the glaring flaws because of how much we like the character n get swept away by the story they tell us..but in retrospect,some things are disturbing and it's important to recognise them.I love the actor n person that is our beloved Suresh Gopi Sir 💕but in the movies even though they are the adrenaline pumping movies that we need sometimes ,the way women are treated and abused(verbally n physically..it doesn't matter that these characters are supposed to be evil)was treated as an audience clapping n cheering prop n most movies had them but these respected actors would be the first to tell you that those things were n still continue to be problematic.Thank you for highlighting those scenes 🙏
Tanu manu return ending was indeed bad. Tanu comes across as manipulative and ultimately is able to manipulate Manu in the end. Also datto fight with her entire village for this marriage only to call it off
Dear , Though the film Kanmadam had this cringe scene , the film showcased on two strong woman - one by Viswanathans Mother and other Bhanu . Bhanu was a very mentally strong blacksmith woman. In how many Indian movies besides malayalam you place heroine as a blacksmith in late 1990s when the entire country was obsessed with Fair and lovely girls. Malayalam industry was and is still much progressive than most Industries in India .
TRP is now after TRPs. You should understand the nuances of a movie before commenting on just a scene. This movie was well ahead of its time unlike the "ordinary Indian kitchen" which was very regressive. If the meaning of being progressive is hurting the sentiment of a community, you need help, Jamie. This wasn't a cringe moment...it can be deemed as the sudden outburst of a character where the darker side of Mohanlal's character came to the fore...which is natural.
@@rajeevmenon6097 TRP did not compare the malyalam industry of that time to bollywood. He compard it to the malyalam industry of today. either way. that scene is problomatic no matter which language it was shot in.
@@rajeevmenon6097 'The Great Indian Kitchen' is not against any particular community..it is clearly in the line of Science vs Religion..Whatever shown in the movie is commentry on Indian Patriarchy irrespective of any religion..
@@rajeevmenon6097 great indian kitchen ൽ nair ഫാമിലി ആയത് കൊണ്ട് ആണോ അത് regressive ,ordinary ആയത്😂.പണ്ട് കാലത്തെ സംബന്ധം ഉൾപ്പടെ ഇന്നും സ്ത്രീകളെ inferior ആയി കാണുന്ന society ആണ് നമ്മുടേത്, അത് nair family മാത്രം അല്ല.അതിന് ഇത്ര പൊള്ളേണ്ട ആവശ്യം ഒന്നും ഇല്ല പിന്നെ nair families നെ പൊക്കി അടിക്കുമ്പോഴും പറയണം,ഇങ്ങനെ ഒന്നും അല്ല ഞങ്ങളുടെ കൂട്ടത്തിലും ഉണ്ട് problems എന്ന്. പൊക്കി അടിക്കുമ്പോൾ happy, അല്ലെങ്കിൽ regressive പോലും പിന്നെ കന്മദത്തിൽ dark side outburst ആണെങ്ങിൽ പടം തീരുമ്പോഴും അങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞു വെക്കണം,പക്ഷെ അങ്ങനെ അല്ലല്ലോ...overall മികച്ച സിനിമയിലെ ഊള scene ആണ് അത്.
Meera and Gautam had no chemistry. They felt REALLY forced. Veronica was literally one of the best Bollywood female characters who was treated horribly by the writers.The movie really should have ended with Meera and Veronica kicking Gautam out of thei lives and living together as besties.
I am not surprised to see a Malayalam film in today's Matlab Kuch Bhi series.. But a point to be noted is that most of the movies of superstars like Mohanlal, Mammotty etc in the late 1990s and 2000s were must worst than this. Like the entire Shaji Kailas filmography is tailormade for your series. Seeing Kanmadam in the series makes little sense when you compare those films with it. Do check out the celebrated movies of Shaji Kailas for better understanding.
There are cringe movies in Malayalam but kanmadham should not be in this list because was a hard hitting movie and should not view the movie from this scene.
Oh sexism in the most celerbrated Malayalam movies in the 90s that went unchecked. Its unbelievable. I remember many scenes making me cringe even before I knew the existence of the word feminism.
I don't agree, completely to this. Yes the viewpoint was quite narrow but you can't generalize movies and call them not progressive enough because of a particular time period or because you find an ideology to be neo-liberal and therefore can't be applied to an entire decade of wonderful cinema.
I'm glad you've added the scene from the Malayalam movie. No doubt, Malayalam cinema is one of the best in the country right now, however, that was definitely not the case in the 90s- 2010s era.
Had a big problem with your description of cocktail. First you praise the character of Veronica for being a "free spirit" and "not caring about other people's opinions", but then she cares so much about Gautam's opinion that she decided to change herself. And you blame "gender stereotypes" for this. If she's a "free spirit", then she shouldn't care what a guy thinks of her looks either isn't it? Whether a guy or a girl, it's their ABSOLUTE CHOICE, no explanations required, when it comes to choosing their life partner. A girl has a right to say that she wishes to marry only a guy who has served in the army, as much as a guy has a right to say he wants to marry a girl who does Pooja everyday. Whether they eventually marry such people is a different issue altogether. Gautam wanted a certain type of a girl as his life partner. It's his choice, as much as it was Veronica's to "not care about other people's opinions" Sometimes people confuse "being progressive" with "being a simp"
@@anupamaMall I guess movie would be really stale then. We wouldn't have any cool action movies anymore because apparently a cool BGM means glorification and you don't want to glorify violence, do you? That was just diminish the other point of cinema and films would cease to exist
Good to know that I wasn't the only one who thought that cocktail (which i thought to be a progressive film because of Deepika Padukone and her character) turned out to be such a regressive mess in the end.
As someone who was born heavy, the movie Kitakithalu made me so uncomfortable as a kid whenever it aired on the television. I used to force myself to laugh along with my family even though in my mind I felt personally attacked at the scenes shown in the movie. No one has the right to make remark about anyone's weight, if you are comfortable with your own skin, then you are fine. I was hoping you would cover this and you finally did. Thank you.
Anmol, I've watched your reviews for Indian serials that have a very crass script. I think , for a change, you should also talk about serials that really had a good storyline and also the actors were apt in their roles. For ex: Sony Tv produces original and compelling shows and I think it's the only channel to do that( atleast now a days). Shows like : khichdi, powder, dhadkan( currently on air) kuch rang...bhi etc.(I'm sure you'll find many when you do your research) I think the viewers also need to know about the shows that were actually good . Bad is criticized often, let's focus on good.
I have DMed Anmol with the exact same context. That he should at least point out some good shows now. 'Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai' is definitely one of the best shows Sony has ever produced.
Please watch Malayalam movie Mr. Marumagan or Mayamohini played by Dileep. You can make a whole matlab kuch bhi episode from just one movie. Malayalam movie has evolved a lot but Dileeps movies are still in following patriarchy thoughts.
There is a horrific scene in Mr. Marumakan where Baburaj asks suraj venjaramoodu's character to rape Dileep's sister. Our hero rescues her and takes revenge by asking suraj to rape Baburaj's sister who helped Suraj in the process. And this scene was made to seem funny. Rape is something we shouldn't wish for even our worst enemies. That's the worst scene I've ever seen in my life.
Back in 2012, I hadn't got the enough knowledge to understand the content of cocktail properly, but was always feeling that something is definitely wrong with the movie, anyhow I kept watching it. Years after I felt so regretful that I used to celebrate the movie☹️
Though the scene from the movie Kanmadam was indeed very regressive one, but the movie is a gem....A.K.Lohithadas the writer ,director is considered to be a path breaking script writer in malayalam movie....Just go through his filmography, you won't regret.....
What happened to Veronica in Cocktail happens with so many Indian women with those characteristics all the time. The film was just true is showcasing what actually happens and even focused more on the interpersonal relationships among Gautam Meera and Veronica. There's no good or bad.
Omg nailed it. I didn't approve Cocktail back in the days when it was so popular. I could never get my point of view through the brains of my friends...... I'm gonna send this video to them now!
Yes, someone said it. Cocktail was very very problematic. I still remember, I went with my Aunt and sister to watch this movie. My sister is a huge Deepika fan, am not though. Still her acting was pretty good in this particular movie. After watching the movie I clearly remember; one of the audience was saying that, ‘it was obvious; Saif would choose Daina over Deepika, because she was sanskari and well behaved and Deepika was not; it is a good message to the current generation women, they should know their boundaries, or else they will be left alone.’ I was like, seriously? But unfortunately, still many people believe this and this movie just proved their notion, that they were correct.
I thought Cocktail ended with Veronica becoming a free spirit again? Even more so now, that she tried to conform and failed at getting what she wanted. I thought each of the characters made sense, and had an arc, for the most part. Saif's character finally gets over his commitment phobia. Veronica reaffirms her nature by realising that trying to commit to a long only leads to misery, and the other girl figures out that its okay to be selfish every once in a while. There's also the interactions between the three leads. Each of them affect each others character. TRP may have a point, but in this particular movie I think it's debatable.
I have to disagree with the cocktail one. It's not that she is a free spirit and doesn't care about people's opinion doesn't make her marriage material, but as the movie progresses she is shown to have numerous issues, alcoholism, she is erratic, super possessive, and gautam being her friend in the end saves her after her car accident and she deals with all that stuff.
So all those "problems" of her didnt bother him when they were dating.. when she was his girlfriend??.. Only when it came to marriage, he realised she has problems?
@@gumiho6075 definitely. She does have problems but isn’t a #yandere. Even then, the cheater has more problems than her, which is complicated, of course.
@@gumiho6075 are we talking about the same movie? If I remember correctly, they were never "in love". They had plans to get married and stay as an open couple, so they could maintain sexual relationships outside their marriage. There was no "love". So it's pretty much the opposite of what you described because Veronica was his choice in marriage but not as a love partner.
You got it wrong with the first one in the list, “Kitakitalu”. It is a comedy movie which does not approach the subject seriously. The movie intentionally exaggerates the scenes with fat shamming. The climax finally reveals how the husband’s character (and the audience) was wrong to judge the wife’s character for her appearance and no couple is perfect. I hate it when the reviewers call a scene from a parody movie silly. It is designed to be silly. Can’t judge a book by reading a page, can you?!
7:00 This scene was so unsettling to watch when it got showcased in the T.V during my childhood. I mean... It was nothing short of physical and sexual abuse.
In 'kithakithalu' movie the hero is shown in such a negative way that at the end he learns a similarly big lesson so dont just quote some of the scenes in the movie.
Yes kitha kithalu is a comedy movie. In most of the comedy or spoof movies, there will be realisation climax. You are just bombarding only black spots in a movie. But u should get that viewpoint with entirety.
Tbh I won't include the kangana scene in matlab kuch bhi series matlab kuch bhi series is meant for problematic scenes not necessarily terrible endings
I have a guilty secret to confess. That first one about the fat girl jumping in the pool made me burst out laughing. But, in my defence, that is the only time it has happened. I love the Matlab Kuchh Bhi series because I wholeheartedly agree with Jammy, Indian cinema is, and has been, highly regressive, and that needs to be a point of discussion. That's the only way we can bring about progress. Still, though, that guy being launched from the pool and landing on a tree was hilarious! For once, the ignorant narrow-mindedness of Indian filmmakers didn't make me seeth with anger at their idiotic viewpoints.
Malayalam have a fair share of regressive and cringeworthy movies. This one is nothing compared to some of movies of Jayaram and Dileep.And such movies have released occasionally in last few years too even though numbers have decreased.
I think that inclusion of cocktail is not required.. as in this scenario.. gowtam played by saif ali khan.. portrays a character that he didn't at all wish to marry any girl n enjoy his happening life... But then eventually he fells in love with the purity of meera.... It's not about the Indian clothing of meera or the free spirit of Veronica... It's just that he didn't had such ideologies while he was dating with Veronica.. n when he sees meera.. the essence of her ..the mere presence of her changed gowtam...nd he started having feelings for her... He had equal respect for Veronica too ......Sorry that's what I feel.
Manu falls in love with Datto with an idea that she is the kind of person in soul that he actually desired in Tanu .. while he actually falls in love with this IDEAL TANU which is Datto!!! So that's why when he realises that he still is in love with Tanu.. he can't make up his mind. Tanu meanwhile throws more tantrums like insulting datto.. and fed up with it.. he makes up his mind to marry Datto.. remember how he tells his decision exactly after their confrontation? But at last he realises that he can't marry her since he is in love with the idea of this 'good' Datto and refuses to marry! As the end credits roll you see that tanu and manu are fighting again over a tie worn by manu. It's a way of saying that they are fit being misfits. Datto's track is for the 3rd installment of the film and that sad ending for her made us remember and root for her more! I think it's Himanshu and Aanand Rai's finest film!
what i really love the most about your "matlab kucch bhi series" is the fact that it also gives a reflection about the actual society, social evils and educates people about it
What ROFL 😂🤣 dhamaka start.. 👌I love you bhai.. one more thing i saw your dance of Hrithik Roshan step.. It was nice try and came out awesome. Really appreciate your talent bro..
Hey jammy kitakitalu is a comedy movie I remember watching this movie in my childhood all the comedy scenes are illogical but that movie had a really good impact on me about the body types. It was really a good movie. they made over exaggerated comedy but the movie is funny and the message is funnily conveyed by the end of the film we respect soundarya (heroine character) . The whole movie is about the body types .
@@518_deepika_taliya4 no I have a different view about this because generally in films they make fat jokes just for the comedy which has nothing to do with the story .But in this film they show the hollow mindset of hero and his realisation that personality is more important than body type . I don't feel like it doesn't have any impact.
Why is stalking and harrassment shown as "romance" in Indian films? Hollywood also used to do that. I never understood Cocktail's success too. It was such a shit film.
I loved cocktail and I can't think of a better for the point you mentioned about. Jammy you should've also mentioned what would be a better option to show, according to you in the film.
I accept that kanmadam had that problematic scene but I have loved that movie for how beautifully it was shot also Manju warrier outshined mohanlal in that movie the set location was just perfect and the songs ohh the songs are gems
Honestly the fact that Manu fell in love with a women who looks like his wife is already weird as it shows how he wanted a Tanu but with a good personality
That movie kithakithalu is supposed to be a silly comedy parody type of movie, I don’t think anyone takes it seriously. It was from that time when people would openly make jokes on physical appearances.
Tanu Weds Manu returns was best till Tanu criticizing Datto on her looks..that was sad ending..instead they should have showed Datto dumping Manu at Mandap Or showed some mature discussion happening between Characters..I always hated Tanu's Character..watched only for Datto..
Hah!? In Australia during the early 1900s, a lot of Australians used to have arranged marriages. Similar for a majority of humans in a lot of minority world countries until the 1930s onward.
Tannu Weds Mannu, is more complicated the story was beautifully written and actor did justice to their role. Each character has their own happy ending, Mannu was marrying Dattu because of her resemblance and latter coz of ruckess, Datto asked Mannu at alter what his honest feeling is because marrying a man under societal pressure is not her style coz she is bold and responsible and Tannu has been shown to be a character who has zero respect and thought she was entitled for everything realized beauty of life after getting a befitting reply. However, i do agree Datto deserved a better ending but if she had from story perspective then Tannu Weds Mannu would have never made an impact on people.
5:49 when Anmol says "A Life with Lord Bobby 😂"... We know We know who are you referring too. Anmol from inside- kya Karun Ohh ladies main Hoon adat se Majboor 😂
In Mohabbatein .. Kiran (Preeti Jhangiani) get married at the age of 17 ( Old guy told Jimmy that her husband is missing from last 2 years and she is just 19 now which mean she was married at 17 😂). And very educated family .. pilot husband..
I hope you watch entire movie rather than parts of it. Kithakithlu movie shows stereityping fat woman for major part of movie. But in the end he understands that physical appearance doesnt matter to love and live happily ever after BTW Big fan Good to see telugu movies too in your videos
I still remember how we used to love watching Kithakithalu everytime we were bored, the whole family sat together and laughed hard during the whole movie. Honestly, I don't regret it. We were well aware that we shouldn't be fat shaming anyone in real life, until the movie ran, we just watched it and enjoyed. Also, one of the motives of the story was to educate people not to fat shame anyone. Just saying, you can enjoy something in a movie and still not promote it in real life. You don't have to nitpick everything in a movie. If we are gonna talk about the ideal world in a movie, it would be impossible to produce a morally correct and an ideal movie. This only shows that we've grown to become snowflakes over the past few years.
I feel in Tanu weds Manu , Datto was a rebound and I was infact happy she didn't end up in it as it would eventually become toxic for her! And in Cocktail (I haven't seen it) , what I understood in the video , I think it's a journey where we try to fit into our loved one's choices but at the end must realise our own self! If that journey was shown , then it might be well explained , else yeah! I understand what you say
I agree. Toxic relationship! Manu fell for someone who looks like his is wife I think that it more than enough to tell what kind of relationship they would have had
OML thank you!! Honestly i never really understood why people love the movie Cocktail so much. The movie literally missed the mark on representing women from our society in my opinion. You seriously read my mind!!!
Honestly when I was watching last half hour of Tanu weds Manu returns, I was thinking that scenario is just resonating interaction between manu and his father about what to do next while drinking.
I was in high school when I went to see Cocktail with my friends. All of us except me came out of the theatre really loving the movie. I kept saying the movie should've been about Deepika's character getting a happy ending/closure. They replied she did get a good ending when she finally learned how to live a perfect lifestyle 😷
Many people don't realise how great of a technical achievement it is, considering the visual effects in the Mithun da's clip used in the intro, due to its absurdity. I see movies in layers (writing, acting, cinematography, VFX, SFX , etc) and visual effects are one of my favourite part of it, that whole scene, when looked from a VFX stand point impressed me ngl. coz those weapons floating in the air, while the camera pans around Mithun da means those things are all composited in the scene and are just 3d models (this can be reduced by the low quality of textures used in there no big deal), but the whole thing is so well executed for a 2006 Movie (and I mean purely the VFX) that i must give em props for that, considering how unnoticed it went.
Hello jammy, here is my perspective on character of Veronica, she didn't changed herself to become Sanskari Bahu, I thinks it's much more than that. I think Veronica really loved Gautam but she never realised it, when Meera comes into their life and Gautam gradually developed inclination towards Meera, Veronica felt she is loosing a important part of her life. She felt being used by her best friend and she is stealing her love. She didn't hate Meera but she got really jealous of her. There is a dark trait of human psychology, we often assume that the people we help in their crisis, should always be great full and remember to what we've done for them, we assume that we owned their life. same thing happened with Veronica, she helped Meera, allowed her to live with her in her apartment, spend great time with her but when she realised she is loosing Gautam to Meera, she became mad at Meera and blamed her for using her friendship and good nature. Obviously, Gautam was never serious with Veronica, she thought if she pretended or behave like Meera then Gautam probably might develope his love for her, but in reality it was just ego of Veronica to prove gautam that she can be everything for him and she is better than Meera. So she tried to change herself but every step she took to become Meera, Gautam remember Meera more and more and kept his distance from Veronica, emotionally. Eventually Veronica realised her mistake and accept who she actually is, instead of becoming someone else.
I think girl that you find compatible should be your choice. In cocktail if you think deepika's character was compatible then she should be your choice without any changes but if meera was your choice then Accept her as it is. But when family comes in the picture then the things become complicated.
I always hated the concept of cocktail movie - at that time when I told my friends about my opinion, they looked at me like I had grown another head 🙄 Same case goes for the tamil movie 'Romeo Juliet' PS: Have you seen 'Veyil' tamil movie - one of the best performance of Actor Pasupathi
Cocktail was one of my favs but never gave a thought like this… Just a question can’t we see movies only for entertainment if we keep finding whether there is something which is not good for society or not. then i guess each and every movie will have something which someone may not agrees to. We watch and we leave that movie there only, due to social media nowadays the movies are staying in our mind little longer than they were use to be.
Right if seriousness has to be the main purpose of a film I don't thing entertainment will last long. And if we start pointing out right and wrong in each film then that process would be endless.
Unpopular Opinion : This may sound conservative, but Free Spirited women and Bad Boy Jock guys aren't really suitable for marriages and they are quite fun to date and have a fling with. And for when it comes to marriage you do seek out partners who are more stable, emotionally available and giving. So.. Men wanting free spirited woman for flings and traditional woman for marriages isn't that weird.. I am sure it goes both ways
