Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer Cocktail 2 has achieved a major milestone at the box office. The romantic comedy-drama has officially crossed the coveted ₹100 crore mark worldwide within just six days of its theatrical release, cementing its position as one of the biggest Bollywood successes of 2026.
Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 arrived in cinemas amid significant expectations as a spiritual sequel to the 2012 hit Cocktail. While the film received mixed reviews from critics, audiences have responded positively, particularly in urban markets where the movie has witnessed strong footfalls since its opening weekend.
According to the latest box office figures, Cocktail 2 collected approximately ₹5 crore net in India on Day 6, helping the film push its worldwide gross collection to ₹102.76 crore. The achievement is particularly noteworthy because the film reached the milestone despite the usual weekday slowdown that follows a strong opening weekend.
The film’s journey at the box office has been impressive from the start. After opening with solid numbers, Cocktail 2recorded significant growth over its first weekend, benefiting from strong word-of-mouth among younger audiences. By the end of Day 3, the movie had already amassed ₹76.25 crore worldwide, setting the stage for its entry into the ₹100 crore club.
One of the biggest strengths of the film has been the chemistry between its lead stars. Shahid Kapoor’s performance has received widespread appreciation, while Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna have added glamour and emotional depth to the love-triangle narrative. The trio’s on-screen dynamic has become one of the film’s biggest talking points, attracting audiences across multiplexes and overseas markets.
Industry observers believe the film’s success is another indication that romantic comedies are making a strong comeback in Bollywood. In recent years, action spectacles and large-scale dramas have dominated the box office, but Cocktail 2 has shown that well-packaged relationship dramas can still draw audiences to theatres. The film’s overseas performance has also played a crucial role in boosting its global total.
The coming days will be crucial for the film as it faces competition from new releases. However, crossing ₹100 crore worldwide in less than a week has already ensured that Cocktail 2 will be remembered as one of the notable box-office performers of the year. If the momentum continues through its second weekend, the Shahid Kapoor-led entertainer could be on track for an even bigger lifetime total.
