The coming weekend will be crucial for Cocktail 2 as Alia Bhatt’s action thriller Alpha arrives in theatres on July 3. The highly anticipated release is expected to reduce screen count for existing films, making the third week a challenging phase.
However, Cocktail 2 has already demonstrated remarkable consistency, thanks to positive word-of-mouth and nostalgia associated with the 2012 original. If the film maintains decent weekday collections, it could comfortably enter the Rs 90 crore club before beginning its third week and then target the prestigious Rs 100 crore domestic milestone.
Directed by Homi Adajania and produced by Maddock Films and Luv Films, Cocktail 2 stars Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon in a modern relationship drama that explores love, commitment and contemporary situationships against stunning backdrops in Sicily, London and Cape Town.
