‘Cocktail’ follows the story of Meera (played by Diana Penty), a simple girl left alone in a new city, who finds comfort and support in her free-spirited friend Veronica (Deepika Padukone). Things get complicated when Veronica’s boyfriend Gautam (Saif Ali Khan) starts falling for Meera.
The movie also featured Boman Irani, Dimple Kapadia, and Randeep Hooda in important roles. It was Diana Penty’s Bollywood debut.
The film gained popularity not just for its story but also for its catchy music. Songs like ‘Tumhi Ho Bandhu’, ‘Daaru Desi’, ‘Second-Hand Jawaani’, and ‘Yaariyan’ became major hits, especially among young listeners. The beautiful filming locations in the UK and South Africa also added charm to the movie. (ANI)
