‘Cocktail 2’ Crosses Rs 106 Crore Worldwide, Emerges as a Box Office Hit

Mumbai, June 2026 : Romantic comedy-drama Cocktail 2 has emerged as one of the biggest commercial successes of the year, crossing the Rs 106.61 crore worldwide gross collection mark and securing a clear box-office hit status. The film’s impressive theatrical run, combined with strong pre-release business, has firmly placed it in the profit zone.

Produced on an estimated all-inclusive budget of Rs 100–110 crore, Cocktail 2 had already recovered a significant portion of its investment through the sale of digital streaming rights, satellite rights and music rights before its theatrical release. With the film now surpassing the coveted Rs 100 crore mark globally, the theatrical revenues have added substantially to its earnings, making it a profitable venture for its makers.

The success of Cocktail 2 has been driven largely by its positive reception among audiences. Strong word-of-mouth publicity, repeat viewership and its appeal among younger moviegoers have contributed significantly to the film’s sustained performance at the box office. Despite competition from other releases, the film has managed to maintain a steady run in cinemas and expand its reach across domestic and international markets.

Industry observers believe the film’s performance highlights the enduring popularity of the romantic-comedy genre when backed by engaging storytelling and relatable characters. The film’s success also reinforces the strong track record of Maddock Films, which has consistently delivered commercially successful entertainers across genres in recent years.

Featuring an ensemble cast led by Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna, Cocktail 2 explores themes of love, friendship and modern relationships, blending humour and emotion in a contemporary setting. The film has been praised for its vibrant performances, stylish presentation and youthful narrative.

Written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain and directed by Homi Adajania, the film offers a fresh take on relationships while retaining the charm and nostalgia associated with the original Cocktail. The collaboration between Maddock Films and Luv Ranjan Films has proven successful, attracting audiences across age groups.

With Cocktail 2 joining the growing list of box-office winners from Maddock Films, attention is already shifting to the studio’s upcoming projects. Following the unveiling of the first look of Eetha and growing anticipation surrounding Prahaar, the production house appears set to continue its strong momentum at the box office.

Currently running successfully in cinemas, Cocktail 2 has not only delivered strong financial returns but has also reaffirmed the audience’s appetite for well-crafted romantic entertainers, making it one of the standout hits of 2026.
