Shahid Kapoor Delivers 3rd Highest-Grossing Bollywood Rom-Com Post-COVID; Cocktail 2 Achieves Three Major Box Office Milestones.
Shahid Kapoor is riding high on the blockbuster success of Cocktail 2, with audiences embracing him in a romantic avatar once again. His portrayal of Kunal has struck a chord with viewers, with fans calling it the quintessential Shahid Kapoor character they had been waiting for—a charming, emotionally mature, and effortlessly lovable leading man.
The audience's love has translated into stellar box office numbers as well. Within just 10 days of its release, Cocktail 2 has amassed an impressive ₹143.17 crore gross worldwide, emerging as one of the biggest Bollywood success stories of the year. With a phenomenal hold over its second weekend, the film has already achieved three major milestones, reaffirming the enduring appeal of romance on the big screen.
One of its biggest achievements is becoming the third highest-grossing Bollywood romantic comedy of the post-COVID era. At a time when urban rom-coms have struggled to pull audiences to theatres, Cocktail 2 has defied the trend, securing its place behind only Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar on the all-time post-pandemic list.
The feat also marks a significant milestone for Shahid Kapoor, who has once again reminded audiences why he remains one of Bollywood's most bankable romantic stars. With exceptional word of mouth and strong momentum at the box office, Cocktail 2 continues to enjoy a dream theatrical run and is expected to add several more records to its name in the days ahead.
Romantic comedies have found it increasingly difficult to draw audiences to theatres in the post-pandemic landscape, making Cocktail 2's success even more remarkable. The Shahid Kapoor-led entertainer has now become the third highest-grossing Bollywood romantic comedy of the post-COVID era, trailing only Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.
The milestone not only reinforces the audience's renewed appetite for well-made romance but also marks another significant achievement for Shahid Kapoor, who has once again proved his enduring appeal as one of Bollywood's most loved romantic heroes.
With strong word of mouth, sustained occupancy and another weekend ahead, Cocktail 2 is expected to continue its impressive theatrical run, with trade expecting the film to add several more milestones to its box office journey in the coming days.
