Cocktail 2, starring Kriti Sanon, Shahid Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna, hit theatres on June 19. The film is a sequel to the 2012 hit Cocktail, which featured Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, and Diana Penty in lead roles. While Cocktail 2 has received a mixed response from audiences, its box office performance tells a different story. Despite the less-than-favorable reviews, the film has opened to a good start, posting a strong collection on its first day.

The film has also registered a decent performance in international markets. Overseas, Cocktail 2 has grossed Rs 4 crore on its opening day. This contribution from foreign territories has helped boost the film’s overall earnings, taking its worldwide gross collection to Rs 20.20 crore.
Cocktail 2 Budget
While the makers have not officially revealed the budget of Cocktail 2, reports suggest that the film has been mounted on a hefty budget of around Rs 150 crore. Considering its scale and star cast, trade experts believed that an opening in the range of Rs 10-12 crore would have been a decent start for the film.
However, Cocktail 2 has managed to surpass those expectations by collecting Rs 13.50 crore net on its opening day in India.
Cocktail 2 Review
The Free Press Journal gave the film 2.5 stars and wrote, “Cocktail 2 looks great, sounds good and has a star performer in Kriti. But a predictable story, weak chemistry and lack of emotional connection stop it from becoming memorable. It’s a one-time watch at best.”
