‘Cocktail 2’ BO collection: Shahid’s film eyes Rs 85 cr despite ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ clash

The Homi Adajania directorial ‘Cocktail 2’ is heading into its tenth day of release. The Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon starrer faces a direct box office battle with the newly released multi-starrer ‘Welcome to the Jungle.’ While Akshay Kumar’s adventure-comedy captured a vast majority of single-screen layouts and prime-time multiplex slots over the weekend, ‘Cocktail 2’ leveraged glowing word-of-mouth to post a strong 6.3% second Saturday trajectory. Backed by solid international collection and steady urban multi-plex footfalls, the film is steadily veering towards the coveted Rs. 100 crore domestic club.
