Cocktail 2, directed by Homi Adajania, recorded a healthy jump in collections on its second day at the box office. The romantic drama earned Rs. 15.50 crore on Day 2, reflecting a growth of around 25 percent from its opening day. With this, the film’s two-day total has reached Rs. 28 crore nett across India.
While the numbers appear encouraging on the surface, industry discussions suggest that certain external factors may have contributed to the film’s performance, making it difficult to assess its actual box-office strength at this stage. A clearer picture is expected to emerge in the coming days.
Starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, the film is currently on track to finish its opening weekend close to the Rs. 50 crore nett mark. However, its long-term performance will largely depend on how it sustains once the initial momentum settles. Mixed audience reactions could pose a challenge to its box-office prospects going forward.
The original Cocktail, released in 2012, opened with Rs. 10.50 crore nett and went on to become a clean hit, ending its theatrical run with Rs. 74.50 crore nett. Adjusted for inflation, its opening-day figures would be significantly higher by today’s standards. It remains to be seen whether the sequel can replicate or surpass the success of the first film.
