“Cocktail 2” releases on June 19 and records a strong opening-day performance, though it does not exceed Shahid Kapoor’s previous blockbuster “Kabir Singh.” Multiple reports describe the day-one box office figures as the actor’s second-biggest opener, placing the film behind “Kabir Singh” and ahead of his other prior releases in terms of opening-day collections. The coverage characterizes the performance as a major start for the film, noting it comfortably holds the second-highest position in Kapoor’s opening-weekend/day history. While the articles focus on comparisons to “Kabir Singh,” they consistently agree on the timing of the release and the overall relative ranking of the opener. No additional figures, comparative rankings beyond the “second-biggest after Kabir Singh” assessment, or audience/critical reactions are included in the provided summaries. Overall, the reports converge on the same outcome: “Cocktail 2” opens well, but “Kabir Singh” remains higher in day-one collections for Kapoor.
