After watching the film, an X user wrote, "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."
Another said, "I don't know whether the movie is good or not, but the music is definitely not bad in Cocktail 2. Whether the music becomes very popular depends on the box office performance of the film."
"#Cocktail2 is an absolute nightmare and the perfect example of a soulless sequel. I started watching this hoping for a vibrant, modern relationship drama, but it proved to be a thoroughly painful, hollow, and utterly frustrating experience," said another.
