After nearly a month in theatres, Cocktail 2 is finally winding down its run. The Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna starrer added just Rs. 50 lakh in its 4th weekend, pushing its 24-day gross to Rs. 84.75 crore in India. The film is now expected to wrap up its theatrical journey somewhere between Rs. 85-86 crore nett — a modest finish that confirms the movie hasn’t managed to turn things around commercially.

Why the Rom-Com Genre Keeps Struggling
The steep week-on-week drop isn’t unique to Cocktail 2 — it reflects a bigger problem facing mid-budget films across the industry. With OTT windows shrinking to as little as 8 weeks, audiences are increasingly conditioned to simply wait for the streaming release rather than book a theatre ticket. The romantic comedy genre, much like the broader Bollywood landscape, has felt this shift the hardest, since these films rely heavily on repeat viewings and word-of-mouth that a compressed release window doesn’t allow time for.
Backed by Maddock Films, Cocktail 2 opened with strong numbers riding on star power, but failed to sustain momentum past its first week — a pattern that’s becoming increasingly common for non-action, non-franchise titles.
