Reviewing Cocktail 2, Taran Adarsh described Kriti Sanon's performance as the best of her career. The trade analyst gave the film four stars and wrote, "More than lives up to expectations." He also praised Shahid Kapoor's performance and the film's music, visuals and writing, while saying Rashmika Mandanna's role deserved more screen space.

Cocktail 2, starring Kriti Sanon, Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, finally hit theatres on Friday, June 19. A sequel to the 2012 film Cocktail, the much-awaited romantic drama is yet to receive audience reviews. However, trade analyst Taran Adarsh has already heaped praise on the film, calling it an engaging love triangle with all the ingredients of a box-office success. He awarded Cocktail 2 a strong four out of five stars.

Taking to his official X (Twitter) handle, Taran Adarash wrote, "More than lives up to expectations... Solid performances, superb music, stunning visuals, and captivating writing – this film scores on all fronts. #Cocktail2Review. Get ready to be surprised... Yes, #Cocktail2 is a love triangle, but it doesn't follow the conventional template... Nor does it take the tried-and-tested route... In fact, unpredictability is its biggest strength."
