'Cocktail 2' is more of a 'khichdi', lacks emotional punch: HT

Hindustan Times gave 'Cocktail 2' 2.5 out of 5 stars, describing it as "a messy khichdi of melodrama and heightened emotions that is neither believable nor fun to watch". "The original Cocktail was messy too, but it had heart and characters you cared about. This spiritual successor has the gloss, the glamour, but not the emotional punch," it added.
