The most anticipated Hindi release of the week, Cocktail 2 is directed by Homi Adajania and brings together Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna in a fresh romantic triangle. A spiritual successor to the 2012 cult favourite, the film promises a contemporary take on love, friendship, and heartbreak — set to a new soundtrack that has already been making noise on streaming charts.
