The sequel to smash 2012 Hindi film Cocktail boasts an OST that captures the same joie de vivre that pervaded its predecessor’s compositions. Music director Pritam is in charge again and he shakes up a concoction of mellifluous love songs and party tunes. Among the highlights are “Mashooqa”—which skilfully blends Hindi and Italian lyrics for the Sicily-set romantic comedy—and a triple treat from Arijit Singh, whose backlog of tracks from before his retirement from playback singing in January 2026 includes the soaring “Tujhko”, sensuous “Leher” and springy “Jab Talak”.
