The box office witnessed the usual Monday dip on 22 June, with most films seeing a sharp fall in collections after a strong weekend. Sunday had brought a wave of audience footfall across theatres, but the momentum clearly softened as the week began. Still, Cocktail 2 managed to stay ahead despite the downturn.
After a strong Sunday performance of Rs 17.75 crore, the film saw a predictable but steep drop on Monday.
On its fourth day, Cocktail 2 earned Rs 6.35 crore, according to early estimates reported by Sacnilk.
This brings its four-day total to Rs 53.85 crore, keeping it comfortably at the top of the box office chart despite the weekday slowdown.
The film, which had enjoyed a strong Sunday collection of Rs 10.10 crore, also faced a noticeable drop on Monday.
It collected Rs 4.10 crore on its fourth day, taking its total to Rs 27.20 crore over four days. While the weekend run was encouraging, weekday performance suggests a return to more modest numbers.
After a brief uptick over the weekend, the film lost momentum again as it entered its second Monday.
It earned Rs 2.50 crore on its 11th day, pushing its total collection to Rs 26.75 crore. The drop indicates the film is now firmly in its weekday consolidation phase.
Ram Charan’s Ram Charan starrer continued its gradual decline as it moved deeper into its theatrical run.
On its 19th day (third Monday), the film managed just Rs 0.83 lakh, reflecting a significant fall in audience turnout.
Despite this, its overall collection stands at Rs 235.10 crore, underlining a strong cumulative performance over its full run.
Monday has once again reinforced a familiar pattern at the box office, strong weekends followed by sharp weekday corrections. While Cocktail 2 continues to dominate the charts, the coming weekdays will be crucial in determining how long these films can sustain their theatrical run before the next weekend revival.
