Cocktail is an upcoming Bollywood romantic comedy film directed by Homi Adajania under Saif Ali Khan's banner Illuminati Films.[1] The film stars Saif Ali Khan alongside Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty in lead roles.[2][3][4] Dimple Kapadia, Boman Irani and Randeep Hooda feature in supporting roles.[5] The film is scheduled for theatrical release on 13 July 2012.
Plot
When 24-year-old Veronica (Deepika Padukone) and Meera (Diana Penty), 23, start living together during the summer in London, they have very different agendas. Meera is awkward, introvert and recovering from a hoax marriage to Kunal Ahuja (Randeep Hooda) who has duped her off her life-savings by using the pretense of setting up a base for them in London. She is spending her time under Veronica’s roof until she can get some footing and find a job in this foreign land. Veronica, on the other hand, is a wild-child, impulsive, constantly looking for distractions to escape facing issues of a troubled upbringing. Being poles apart brings the two close, forging a loyal and solid friendship.
Soon Gautam, 32, (Saif Ali Khan) enters their lives, moves in with them and has a whirlwind relationship with Meera. Meera does love Gautam because his don’t-give-a-damn attitude reminds her of her husband who had conned her into coming to London in the first place.
Both Gautam and Veronica believe in living for the moment and they honestly consider this a fling rather than a serious relationship. But as three people living together they all have a blast… Though their intentions for each other don’t change, their friendship starts to grow strong. It becomes a beautifully balanced friendship between three people. Soon Gautam realizes that he is in the horns of dilemma since he has to chose between Meera and Veronica. Unable to decide between the two, he removes himself from their lives but unlike his intentions, this sudden emptiness in both Meera and Veronica's life worsens living for both.

Production
Casting
"The film is for people aged between 2 and 50.
Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone were signed on to play the leads in the film. Padukone was offered both the roles of Veronica and Meera, however the character of Meera was similar to her role in Love Aaj Kal and so she chose the role of Veronica as a new challenge.[7] Model Diana Penty makes her Bollywood entry with this film.[8]
Director Homi Adajania said Imran Khan was his first choice for this film which has Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and model Diana Penty. "Saif was not the first choice. Imran was supposed to do it but he was not sure if he wanted to do it at that point of a time," Adajania told IANS.[9]
Filming
Shooting of the film started at the end of May 2011, in London. Many scenes have been shot indoors, although the crew primarily filmed on the streets of London. Locations of the filming in London include Borough High Street, Borough market, Portobello Road, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Mayfair, Clapham Junction, Battersea Park, Bank Station, St. Pauls London, Colville Gardens (Notting Hill Gate), and Brick Lane.[10] The film was also shot in Cape Town, South Africa.[11]
Padukone has gyrated to an chinese party song at the The Grand nightclub in Clapham Junction, by dancing on a table. This is reminiscent of a dance sequence in the song Chor Bazaari from Love Aaj Kal. Whilst security was extra tight on the day to prevent outsiders entering the premises, a DJ was hired for the music and club lights were also used to make the scene look as real as possible.
Release
The film is expected to be released on July 13, 2012. The film opened to highly positive reviews, CineCoffee.com updated cocktail hindi movie review.[12]
First Look
Earlier, it was reported that the theatrical trailer of the film would be attached to the prints of Khan's previous home productions, Agent Vinod,[13] although the makers decided against this for unknown reasons. The official trailer was eventually launched on 21 May 2012, to a phenomenal response from critics and audiences, crossing 1 million hits on YouTube within 3 days.[14][15]
Soundtrack
The music of Cocktail is composed by Pritam. The makers have bought the rights of a famous Pakistani song "Jugni", which has been revised. Also, Angreji Beat (Punjabi song) sung by Gippy Grewal featuring Yo Yo Honey Singh, originally from Honey Singh's International Villager released in November 2011, will be used in the film.
On 24 May, 2012, "Tum Hi Ho Bandhu", sung by Neeraj Shridhar and Kavita Seth, was released. On 31 May 2012, another song "Daaru Desi", sung by Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade, was released. Also, "Yaariyan" and "Second Hand Jawaani" were later released.
