Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, is one of the biggest releases of Bollywood in the month of June. Scheduled to release on June 19, the film has the sequel factor as padding, and so far, pre-release buzz has been decent to good. If not huge, it is definitely heading for a good start at the Indian box office and is likely to join Shahid’s top 5 openers of all time. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Targets a good start at the Indian box office

The upcoming Cocktail sequel has a feel-good vibe. The pair of Shahid and Kriti returns after the success of Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, and also, the music album is turning out to be a chartbuster. Already, it has managed to grab the attention of the young audience due to its promotional assets, and with a decently cut trailer, it could be well positioned to open on a good note.
