Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna, has completed its first 4 days in theatres with an estimated collection of around Rs. 50 crore nett at the Indian box office. The romantic comedy drama added approximately Rs. 5.50 crore to Rs. 6.00 crore nett on its first Monday.
The film recorded a drop of around 50 per cent from its opening day collection of Rs. 12.50 crore. While the overall numbers remain strong, the coming days will provide a clearer picture of the film’s long term box office performance.
According to trade estimates, the movie benefited from certain external factors during its opening weekend, which helped boost collections. As a result, industry observers believe the real test for Cocktail 2 will begin once those factors are no longer influencing audience turnout.
The film opened with Rs. 12.50 crore nett on Day 1 and witnessed growth over the weekend. It collected Rs. 15.50 crore on Day 2 and Rs. 16.25 crore on Day 3. On its first Monday, the movie earned between Rs. 5.50 crore and Rs. 6.00 crore, taking its total collection to approximately Rs. 50 crore nett.
Day wise box office collections of Cocktail 2 are as follows:
Day 1: Rs. 12.50 crore
Day 2: Rs. 15.50 crore
Day 3: Rs. 16.25 crore
Day 4: Rs. 5.50 crore to Rs. 6.00 crore
Total: Rs. 50.00 crore
Audience reactions to the film have been mixed, which may affect its performance in the coming weeks. Positive word of mouth often plays a major role in helping films sustain collections after the opening weekend, making the next few days important for Cocktail 2.
The movie is also expected to face competition from Welcome To The Jungle, which could impact its box office momentum.
The original Cocktail was released in 2012 and opened with Rs. 10.50 crore nett. The film went on to become a successful theatrical performer, ending its run with Rs. 74.50 crore nett in India. When adjusted for inflation, its opening day figure would be significantly higher in today’s market conditions.
With a total of Rs. 50 crore already collected in 4 days, Cocktail 2 has started well at the box office. However, its ability to maintain steady collections and overcome competition will determine whether it can match or surpass the performance of the original film in the weeks ahead.
