URBAN MELODRAMA

Can you leave your love for your best friend ??

Today I watched Cocktail,it follows a basic Bollywood genre-geometry of a love triangle. The story is about a compulsive flirt  Gautam (Saif Ali Khan) who gets into a no-strings-attached relationship with the hot-n-happening Veronica(Deepika Padukone) . To cover up his live-in with Veronica, girl-next-door Meera (Diana Penty) is literally the girl Gautam takes home to his mother. The guy is commitment-phobic until he meets up his match and realizes what 'true love' is. His heart start fluttering for Meera.


So here Gautam and Veronica just hit it off in two scenes. So do Gautam and Meera and if it wasn't the kiss at interval point, one wouldn't know Cupid has cross connected it. So the melodrama started between the love triangle and its ends with one has to sacrifice for the sake of friendship and love. Evidently you know which girl would win in the end. Basically, Cocktail, is a same prose with new grammar.
Eventually my question still remains same 'Can you leave your love for your best friend?'

 My answer is NO!! I mean why would my best friend will try to hit on my Boyfriend? In India, love means commitment. A serious commitment. And dedications. Love is a sensation based on physical and emotional attraction. For girls love is trust, loyalty, honesty, commitment, care, happiness, attachment, responsibilities, possessiveness, jealousy, insecurities, pain, frustrations....and what not! So sharing and compromising with her love is not in her 'love' dictionary. When she falls into a relationship the first thing they do is call her best friends and narrate all the story since they have met to her proposal....everything,every single detail she give about her boyfriend and her relationship to her best friend! Somewhere her best friend has also become a part of her relationship. Her intentions in involving her friend is that whenever she feels low she can seek support from her friend. And when she is hurt her friend can go and fire up her boyfriend,making him realize his mistakes. Same happens with all the girls and even me. After seeing the movie the first thought came to my mind was "If that super best friend of mine is longing for my BF,will I give my love to her so smoothly?" And the second thought that rush to my mind was "I will give death to her." :P

 I will be fighting with her  "The Battle of Love"....and I will try all possible ways to sweep her off. A great friend will eventually turn into a greater foe. Besides, If my boyfriend is also interested in her, both are going to die the same death! Yes, I sound like a bitch. But when it comes to my things "I am a follower of SATAN"..... :D
I was always loyal to my boyfriend and I will try to invest all my love for him. But I can't see him happy with other girl. If breakup takes place due to another reason I will still be happy somewhere but If it take place due to my Best Friend...a feeling of revenge will always be there. And the frustration that will eat up my mind will make me perform all the sins I have never committed. And the rest is 'history'.


So yes the movie portrayed a great friendship but what it ended with, was not  critically accepted. It never happens and such thing will never take place in India where people are so obsessive about their emotions. Things are not so easy in real life as they show in reel life. I appreciate the concept of the movie, but two girls never compromise for the person they love.
