Is the Indian rom com dead? Watching the odious beach song, ‘‘Jab Talak’from the forthcoming Cocktail 2said to be the spiritual sequel of the 2012 hit Cocktail, which made Deepika Padukone a born-again cool girl, one could sense the whiff of emotional decay. The director, Homi Adajania, is the same, and the beach song has Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandana trying desperately to out smile, out hair flip and out oomph each other, only to look as boring as Shahid Kapoor’s expression.
The trailer promises friendship, love, madness. It also says the perfect cocktail is returning.
Shudder.
That alone would make one go in for a cinematic summer detox but we are being promised yet another romance, this time from Dharma Productions, called Moon My Heartwhere a barechested Lakshya is sharing screen time and it seems his shirts, with Ananya Panday. Our love story is legendary, says the heroine to the hero in the trailer. But all legendary love stories have tragic endings, says the hero, after screaming into the void and riding a bike while kissing the girl a la Saaiyaara.
