The advance booking of Cocktail 2 has begun on a promising note. The much-awaited romantic entertainer, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna, is showing encouraging momentum across the national multiplex chains and is expected to witness significant growth over the next two days.
As of now, Cocktail 2 has sold approximately 13,000 tickets in the three national multiplex chains for its opening day, with PVRInox contributing around 11,700 tickets while Cinepolis has sold nearly 1,300 tickets.
Interestingly, the film has already matched the advance booking of Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, which had closed its Day 1 advance sales at approximately 13,000 tickets across the national chains. With nearly two full days still remaining before release, Cocktail 2 is comfortably placed to move ahead of that figure.
Trade is now eyeing another important milestone. If the current trend continues over the next 48 hours, Cocktail 2 is expected to cross the 30,000-ticket mark in the national multiplex chains, thereby surpassing the final advance booking of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.
The next two days will be crucial as urban multiplex audiences traditionally drive bookings for romantic entertainers. Positive word of mouth surrounding the trailer, music and the fresh pairing of Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna could further accelerate ticket sales through Thursday evening.
While the film still has some distance to cover before joining the league of blockbuster openers, the current trajectory indicates that Cocktail 2 is heading towards a respectable start at the box office. A strong spike in spot bookings, coupled with positive audience reports, could further enhance its opening-day collections.
