Fourteen years after the original 'Cocktail' redefined the modern Bollywood love triangle, Homi Adajania returns with a spiritual sequel that has opened to strong numbers and sparked considerable discussion. 'Cocktail 2', featuring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, earned Rs 13.50 crore net on its opening day across 10,835 shows. The momentum continued into Day 2, with the domestic net now at Rs 14.26 crore and the worldwide gross approaching Rs 21 crore.
Opening Day Performance
'Cocktail 2' debuted to a strong reception, securing an impressive domestic net collection of Rs 13.50 crore on its first day. This brought the film's total Indian gross earnings to Rs 16.20 crore.

Day 2 Box Office Live Tracking
On Day 2, 'Cocktail 2' brought in a live net collection of Rs 1.41 crore from 3,496 shows, according to Sacnilk. This pushes its India net earnings to Rs 14.91 crore and total gross to Rs 17.86 crore, with final domestic numbers tallied at the end of the day.
Day-Wise Collections
- Day 1: Rs 13.50 crore
- Day 2 [LIVE]: Rs 1.41 crore
- TOTAL: Rs 14.91 crore
Weekend Projections
Given the film's wide release footprint and evident audience curiosity reflected in Day 1 numbers, a final Day 2 collection in the Rs 13–15 crore net range looks achievable, which would take the two-day domestic net comfortably past the Rs 27–28 crore mark. A strong Saturday typically sets up an even bigger Sunday for romantic dramas with broad appeal. If that pattern holds, 'Cocktail 2' could be on course for an opening weekend domestic net in the Rs 40–45 crore range.
More About 'Cocktail 2'
'Cocktail 2' is a sleek romantic drama directed by Homi Adajania, written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain, and produced jointly by Maddock Films and Luv Films. Serving as a spiritual sequel to the 2012 classic, the film stars Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles, bringing to life a vibrant new romantic triangle set against the stunning backdrops of London and Cape Town. The movie has a runtime of exactly 2 hours and 22 minutes (142 minutes) and features the highly trending promotional track 'Bandhu 2.0', which reimagines the iconic original song 'Tumhi Ho Bandhu'.
Ahead of its theatrical release on June 19, 2026, the film received an 'A' (Adults Only) certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) due to its mature themes and modern relationship complexities. Lead actor Shahid Kapoor publicly questioned this stringent classification during promotional interviews, arguing that contemporary youth are incredibly progressive and well-versed in complex modern relationship dynamics, making the strict 'A' rating largely unnecessary for today's audience.
