Cocktail 2 opens bigger than Cocktail 1. :BOI - Page 2

If you're adjusting Cocktail (2012)'s ₹10.5 crore opening to ₹30 crore today because of inflation, then you also have to adjust audience behavior, ticketing patterns, competition, and genre trends.By your logic, if budgets can be adjusted for inflation, then the difficulty level of getting audiences into theatres for a rom-com in 2026 should also be adjusted. In that case, Cocktail 2's ₹12.5 crore opening looks even more impressive.

The bigger point: Cocktail 2 opened higher in absolute numbers despite releasing in a much tougher theatrical environment.

Back in 2012, urban rom-coms were one of Bollywood's hottest genres. Today, post-pandemic, the genre is struggling theatrically. Most romance and rom-com films either underperform or find audiences on OTT. Mass action spectacles are what dominate the box office now.

So comparing Cocktail 1's inflation-adjusted opening to Cocktail 2 while ignoring the fact that rom-coms are far less commercially viable today is cherry-picking.

you gotta be joking dude

forget about the collections, the movie is really good, I like the songs better, an with tumhi ho bandhu in the movie, it's superb. the movie is suspenseful, funny, actors have chemistry. I like deepika more than kriti but I like rashmika more than Diana penty. Diana's character was just too seedha saadha. But the movies have nothing to do with each other than the name, triangle and the song tumhi ho bandhu
