cocktail..

Hindi movie cocktail...a different perspective

what i understood from the movie:

saif makes a pass at diana (amongst  million others), she seems to have been quite impressed by his pass,(though good traditional indian girl rejects it outright),cause she remembers him even a week or so later...so its already established, that he had entered her awareness even then. she seem secretly thrilled by the advance.

deepika is aware of this, yet chooses him to be her next convenient fuck buddy and clears that she intends nothing more than that.

saif...also remembers diana as the lady who was his rare failure..so she is in his awareness too.

he is shown to be cool with any kind of pants, as long as they belong to a woman.

diana penti keeps throwing him the 'im so pious unlike deepika' (under whose meherbani she is surviving notwithstanding) vibe, to saif, just to show her exclusivity and how she is any day the better choice, hands down, while saif and deepika feel she is the freak.

till here the plot is evenly matched.

after this, things change..i never really understood, why deepika, saif and diana chose to fall in love(or what they even mean by love for that matter), and all in the same day...except for the fact, that the director wanted it that way...but one thing is clear, both the women envy the others lifestyle..if diana didn't secretly admire the freespiritedness of deepika, there is no way she would have fallen for saif..(her only condition seems to me..i love the fact that u can charm the pants off any woman, but it must stop with me!). deepika is a little less ambiguous......she sees security as something welcome instead of a caged existence, for the time being at least.

next u see, deepika accuses diana of stealing her man(she forgets that diana is the one who introduced her to the man in the first place , and that she had claimed  that it was never going to be a serious thing...)

diana doesnt reject saif only because she feels guilty about deepika(though that may be part of the reason..she must have realized that its pay back time as in the i scratch ur back, u scratch mine bargain she had with deepika), she also rejects him cause she is not sure that the leopard would change his spots.she doesn't want to be just his next fling.oh no, not like deepika..thats not me, im better class.

then for some time, all three live separate lives, wondering what cracked so badly between them.

its only with time, that things get clearer., ie deepika gets time to realise that even though saif loves diana, she has her place intact, emotionally at least.(her ego feels satisfied enough to let go of him),

diana realises that if he has waited so long for her, then there is more to it than just checking out the next girl on the block, and she is ready to take the risk of long term commitment.

and that is the end of the picture, but it so not the end of the story, im afraid.

.i doubt saif will be able to remain true to diana..chances of him continuing with his earlier philandering lifestyle is very bright.

and that must be the prime reason he chose her as his life partner.......cause her traditional thinking would prevent her from dumping him for his old habits.

diana i think would be one of those girl next door women, who aspire to be freespirited, but are chicken and  finds it useful  to put up with his numerous infidelities, as long as she can lord it up before other women...saif the most handsome dude is legally mine, so girls suck it!

what is shown was not love at all, just selfishness, and arrangements of conveniences all around..

but then love doesnt exist anyways, so then thats how it shud be also.
