The romantic drama 'Cocktail 2', featuring Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Kriti Sanon, hit theaters on Friday, June 19. The film received a mixed response from audiences and critics alike, yet managed to secure a strong opening at the box office. As a spiritual successor to the 2012 hit 'Cocktail' starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty, the new installment has generated significant buzz. Here is a detailed look at its debut performance.
'Cocktail 2' Box Office Collection Day 1
According to a report by Sacnilk, the Homi Adajania-directed film was screened across 10,835 shows in India. It earned Rs 13.50 crore net on its opening day. The total India net collection now stands at Rs 13.50 crore, with the India gross collection reaching Rs 16.20 crore. Overseas, the Shahid Kapoor starrer collected Rs 4.00 crore in gross, pushing the worldwide gross to Rs 20.20 crore. The film's overall occupancy on day one was recorded at 24.57%.
While the weekend is expected to boost collections, Monday's performance will be crucial in determining the film's long-term box office strength. With no major Bollywood releases this week, 'Cocktail 2' is likely to benefit from minimal competition.
