The plot follows longtime partners Kunal and Diya whose relationship is tested during a Sicily vacation after meeting Diya’s friend Ally. Written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain, the film also features Mark Bennington, Tiku Talsania, Suparna Marwah, Neelu Kohli and Kannan Arunachalam in supporting roles.
Cocktail 2 released in theatres on June 19, 2026 with a reported budget of around 150 crore. Despite mixed to negative reviews, it collected approximately 150 crore worldwide, making it a moderate commercial performer according to trade reports and industry trackers across India and overseas markets.
Critics noted the film lacked the edge of the original. The Tumhi Ho Bandhu remix also drew criticism for plain sets and social media style choreography. Still, strong star power and Netflix debut could help Cocktail 2 find a wider audience for romantic drama fans seeking weekend streaming options.
