Career milestone
A look at Kapoor's highest-grossing films
The early box office performance of Cocktail 2 has also secured its place among Kapoor's highest-grossing films. With its current India net collection of ₹53.85cr, the film has already climbed to the seventh spot in his list of highest-earning films. It is now closing in on the lifetime collection of Haider (2014), which earned around ₹55.93cr net in India.
Future prospects
Competition ahead for 'Cocktail 2'
Despite the significant dip in its collections, Cocktail 2 has been faring well compared to recent theatrical releases like Main Vaapas Aaunga and Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past. However, it will face tough competition from Akshay Kumar's Welcome to the Jungle and Alia Bhatt-Sharvari's Alpha, which are set to release on Friday (June 26) and July 3, respectively.
