With a little corporate push from the masters of the game, it should emerge as a Success/Hit.

‘Cocktail 2’ Review
Everything about #Cocktail2 sucks.🤮 The casting feels uninspired, the songs lack soul, and nothing about it captures what made the original so memorable. It also highlights @MaddockFilms' transformation from a studio that built its reputation on fresh, content-driven hits..
