Cocktail 2 Advance Booking: Cocktail 2 is showing signs of momentum at the box office ahead of its release. The Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna starrer has crossed 57,000 tickets in advance sales for its opening day, giving the film a late boost after a relatively slow start to pre-bookings.
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Cocktail 2 has collected Rs 1.97 crore in advance bookings without block seats. Including block seats, the figure stands at Rs 3.67 crore. With the film still having one more day of pre-sales before release, the final advance booking number could see a further jump.
Cocktail 2 Picks Up Pace Before Release
Advance booking for the film opened on Sunday, but the initial response was modest. However, as release
day draws closer, ticket sales have begun improving, offering some encouragement for the makers. While the current figures are not among the year’s biggest pre-sales numbers, they place Cocktail 2 in a comfortable position ahead of its theatrical debut. Industry watchers will now be looking at whether the film can convert the growing interest into a strong opening-day collection.
No Major Bollywood Clash On Release Day
The timing seems to be working in Cocktail 2’s favour. The film arrives in cinemas on June 19 without any major Hindi film releasing alongside it. Last week’s releases, Main Vaapas Aaunga and Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, have left room for a fresh release to attract audiences. Cocktail 2 is less likely to face competition from Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past, which has failed to create an impact at the box office during its second weekend run.
Bandhu 2.0 Adds To Pre-Release Buzz
As the film heads towards release, the makers have continued promoting it with fresh music. On Wednesday, they unveiled Bandhu 2.0, a recreated version of the popular song Tumhi Ho Bandhu from the original Cocktail. The song has generated mixed reactions online, with some viewers embracing the nostalgic touch while others have been more divided in their response.
Featuring music by Pritam, Bandhu 2.0 has been sung by Kavita Seth and Neeraj Shridhar, with lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil. The song aims to recreate the friendship-driven spirit of the original while giving it a contemporary flavour for a new generation of listeners.
Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 is produced by Dinesh Vijan, Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg. The screenplay has been written by Tarun Jain and Luv Ranjan.
