Mumbai: Actor Kriti Sanon is enjoying one of the most successful phases of her career following the positive response to Cocktail 2, which continues to perform steadily at the box office both in India and overseas. Her portrayal of Ally has been widely appreciated by audiences, adding another notable performance to her growing filmography.
Amid frequent social media discussions about competition and rankings among Bollywood’s leading actresses, Kriti has made it clear that she prefers to focus on her own journey rather than comparisons. According to the actor, confidence in one’s individual path makes external rivalries largely irrelevant. She believes that every performer brings a distinct personality and style to the screen, making direct comparisons unnecessary.
For Kriti, the real challenge lies in surpassing her own previous performances. She views artistic growth and continuous improvement as the true indicators of success, emphasizing that each new role should be stronger and more memorable than the last. The actor says her primary goal is to evolve with every project rather than compete with fellow artists.
Cocktail 2, a spiritual successor to the 2012 romantic drama Cocktail, has resonated strongly with audiences. Written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain and produced by Dinesh Vijan, Luv Ranjan, and Ankur Garg under Maddock Films and Luv Films, the film stars Shahid Kapoor as Kunal, Rashmika Mandanna as Diya, and Kriti Sanon as Ally.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Sicily, the story follows a couple whose relationship is tested after an unexpected encounter with a close friend during a vacation. The film’s emotional storyline, scenic visuals, and performances have contributed to its positive reception.
The romantic drama has maintained a healthy theatrical run despite the typical weekday slowdown. By the end of its first week, the film had reportedly crossed the ₹70 crore mark in domestic net collections, reinforcing its position among the stronger-performing romantic releases of the year.
Internationally, Cocktail 2 has also registered encouraging numbers, with overseas earnings contributing significantly to its overall success. The film’s worldwide gross has crossed the ₹100 crore milestone, highlighting its broad appeal across markets and establishing it as one of the notable commercial successes currently running in theatres.
With positive word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest, Cocktail 2 appears well-positioned to continue its successful run in the weeks ahead, while Kriti Sanon’s performance remains one of the film’s most talked-about highlights.
