Cocktail 2 inches towards the 100 Cr mark

June 24, 2026

“Cocktail 2” has had a strong opening and a solid first-week run, with trade reports showing it crossed the ₹60 crore India net mark by Day 5 and moved close to ₹100 crore worldwide. The film’s opening-day figure of ₹13.50 crore in India was especially notable because it outperformed the original film’s opening, giving the sequel a clear commercial lift right out of the gate.

Opening momentum
The film started with ₹13.50 crore net in India on Day 1 and quickly climbed to ₹29.75 crore net by Day 2, alongside a worldwide total above ₹50 crore. That early surge suggested healthy audience interest, especially for a rom-com in a crowded market.

Weekday hold
By Day 5, “Cocktail 2” was still holding well, with reports placing its India net collection at ₹60.90 crore and its worldwide gross at about ₹95 crore. Another trade estimate put the India net total even higher, at ₹64.35 crore, with worldwide gross crossing ₹106 crore, which indicates slightly different reporting windows but the same broad picture: the film has maintained momentum beyond the weekend.

Budget and recovery
The film has been reported with a budget ranging from ₹110 crore to ₹150 crore, depending on whether P&A is included. Even using the higher budget estimate, the strong opening and steady weekday performance have helped it recover a significant share of costs through theatrical revenue and non-theatrical deals.

How it stands
Overall, “Cocktail 2” looks like a commercially successful release rather than a runaway blockbuster. Its box office run is strong enough to be called a hit in many trade reports, but its final classification will depend on how well it holds during the second week and whether it can keep pushing toward or beyond the ₹100 crore worldwide milestone.
