COCKTAIL 2 collected around 5.25 crore nett on Monday which is a drop of a little over 55% but there were places dropping 50% and then others were dropping 70%. Its not metro cities dropping 50% and mass centres dropping 70%. So, its basically going to be about when the dust settles for this film as the figures are all over the place which also means it could be a little higher or even lower on Monday. The range though is 5-5.50 crore nett.

But what is pretty clear this film does not give any boost to this Rom - Com genre and here there are production values which are at a higher level then most of the other films in the genre. Yet, the collections are a struggle. The genre needs some novelty and how the characterization of the male lead has to change if this genre is to get more footfalls.

The collections of COCKTAIL 2 stand at around 50 crore nett till date and it remains to be seen where the film goes from here. Its middling collections and time will tell do they remain middling over the next week or does the rejection of the film with core Hindi speaking areas feed through to the metro areas as well.

The collections of COCKTAIL 2 are as follows.

Friday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 16,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 5,25,00,000 apprx

COCKTAIL 2 picked up similar collections to Monday on Tuesday as the discounted tickets only gave the film a minimal uptick although the pricing did not go to lowest level. They were held a little higher than the normal discounted Tuesday. The film collected around 5.50 crore nett which takes the film to 55 crore nett. The next two days will determine where the week ends.

The film is likely to do more than its predecessor but that is a given as its more than a decade later. COCKTAIL (2012) did 73% of its business in its first week without any competition for two weeks and if COCKTAIL 2 can do something similar with the expected competition of WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE and ALPHA, it will mean a similar sort of appreciation though costs are much higher today. Basically the market for the genre is where it was a decade ago but costs involved in making films have risen tremendously.

The collections of COCKTAIL 2 are as follows.

Friday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 16,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 5,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

COCKTAIL 2 had a fair first week thanks to a good weekend though it saw dropping collections over the weekdays. The film has collected 62.50 crore nett over its first week but the problem for the film is where it goes from here as appreciation is missing. It was the same story with COCKTAIL (2012) but there, the first week was very good relative to its costs that it did not matter much that the film could not go through.

Here, COCKTAIL 2 cant really afford to do 70-75% of its business in the first week as that wont be good enough. Obviously the film can still do well in week two but you have a big new release like WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE and on top the holdover MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA has started to beat it in areas where COCKTAIL 2 itself is best like NCR and Mysore. 

At best the film can be an AVERAGE fare if it can hold up well enough over the next few weeks and actually for this genre even getting to average is pretty good. If it does emerge an average fare, it will be mainly down to the music and the initial weekend. 

The collections of COCKTAIL 2 are as follows.  

Friday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 16,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 5,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

COCKTAIL 2 (Hindi) has gone over the 100 crore mark worldwide as it collects around 107 crore after eight days. The overseas figures are a bit disappointing as you would expect it to do better with the look and feel of the film. The initial weekend of the film was the same as TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA but its unlikely that the film can go on and match the lifetime of the 2024 romcom.

The film stands at about $1 million in US/Canada after eight days which should be the best market for the film but TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA did around $2.3 million which will be impossible for COCKTAIL 2 to catch. The film has performed better than TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA in Gulf initially but lifetime may end up with only similar figures. TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA did $5 million overseas and COCKTAIL 2 will stay well below the figure.

COCKTAIL (2012) did around $4.25 million and it remains to be seen if COCKTAIL 2 can get that much. The target for worldwide collections will be 150 crore but it wont be easy getting there and may have to settle for a little less.

The worldwide collections of COCKTAIL 2 till date are as follows. 

India -  79.25 crore (65.75 crore nett)

Overseas -  27 crore ($2.85 million)

-----------------------------------------

COCKTAIL 2 saw a drop in the second week as it collected 11 crore nett. The first weekend was 44 crore nett. So, its a drop of 75% from the first weekend. The film was set for a drop with the release of WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE but this is on the higher side. The film has collections of 73.50 crore nett so far which is below the mark.

A fair result for the film would have been a 100 crore nett total or something close but that looks tough now. It will beat the business of COCKTAIL (2012) and TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA. But COCKTAIL (2012) is over a decade back and TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA is a far lower costing film than COCKTAIL 2.

Basically the film got a start but could not really go on from there due to the content.

The collections of COCKTAIL 2 are as follows.
