Cocktail movie comes out from the 'Love aaj kal 'gang, producer Saif ali khan, Writer Imitiyaz Ali and the music composer  Pritam.

The album comprises of 7 original tracks and 3 more which include 1 remixe, 2 reprise versions.

Compared to Pritam's last album  under this banner(Agent Vinod), Cocktail surpises with very fresh music  and powerful compositions.

1. Tum hi ho Bandhu-

Catchy and very unusual lyrics this song has been making quite a news  in the youth even before the music launch. Neeraj Sridhar and Kavita Seth have done justice with the vocals and the music is also as great as the vocals are. One of the best songs in the album.

Rating :- 4/5.

2.Daru desi-

A very light on the beat, this song comes with a very pleasing and peppy music. The vocals are given by   Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade (Pareshan -Isahqzade). The lyrics are very unusual and catchy.

Rating :- 3/5.

3.Yaariyan –

A slow and melodious composition, this track will definitely make you hum in its flow. Vocalists Mohan Kanan and Shilpa Rao have done a perfect job.

Rating :- 3/5.

4.Second hand Jawani-

Disastrous lyrics with a Punjabi beat to it. I leave the rest to ur imagination.  The song is one of the worst in the album. The vocals being okay, the lyrics do the job of destroying the song.

Rating:- 1.5/5.

5. Tera Naam Jhapdi Phiran:-

Imagine a Pakistani classical song  and then imagine any club mix like one of David Guetta’s albums, and now mix it in Pritam Style. After all this what u get is this track .Inspired by the song ‘Aj latha nayyion ’ by Javed Bashir (Coke studio) this track has more than just the inspiration including the vocalists. The composer has played it smart by introducing House music in .

Rating:- 2/5

6.Luttna –

This track will surprise with its pace and vocals. Sung in Punjabi, this track offers great beats and some excellent mixing from the composer .Masuma Anwar, Sahir Ali & Anupam Amod back the song with very powerful vocals enhancing the music.

Another Punjabi track!!! This track has all that is required to be a gr8 composition. Awesome vocals, gr8 music, amazing lyrics and plus the Punjabi factorJ. Vocalist Arif Lohar and Harsdeep kaur have done an awesome piece of work and so has the composer Pritam.
