Cocktail

Started out well but ended as a pretty average movie. A normal triangle love story but the key differentiator is the unique characterization of each of the three folks. Not a great bunch of great dialog but few are good punch liners. Pretty much nothing happens after the intermission. So I felt it could have ended about one hour earlier!! Also noted that Saif's first and last scenes with Diana have same dialog - good direction but very similar to Aamir's interaction with Preity Zinta in Dil Chahtha Hai.

The Surrogacy Trap

Excellent narration, direction and edge-of-seat thriller (at least the last half of the movie). Makes one think twice before opting for surrogacy...
Rating: Good
