Bollywood's 'Cocktail 2' Opens Strongly, Exceeding Predecessor's Box Office Performance

The Bollywood romantic drama 'Cocktail 2' has achieved a strong opening at the box office, earning Rs 13.50 crore in India on its first day and a worldwide gross of Rs 20.20 crore. This performance positions it as one of the biggest Bollywood openers of 2026, surpassing the original 'Cocktail' from 2012. The film's success is partly attributed to a lack of significant competing Hindi releases.
