He gave the movie a rating of 3 stars and wrote, "It's a decent rom-com Entertainer with grand scale & beautiful visuals, but the Soul of the film is missing and everything feels flat".

On the other hand, self proclaimed critic Umair Sandhu, who is based in London, shared the review and wasn't much pleased with Cocktail 2. While he lauded Rashmika and wrote, "Rashmika is perfect Desi & Classy Girl mixture", he called Cocktail 2 cringe with too much drama and gave it a 2 star rating.

Meanwhile, as there are reports about Cocktail 2 featuring Kriti and Rashmika as lovers, the Mimi actress, during the recent promotions clarified, "There is no lesbian story. I know, we do have that chemistry. We are three straight people, guys. It's only an emotional threesome, not physical".
