The cocktail has been mixed, and the buzz is now officially bubbling over. Cocktail 2, led by Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna, has climbed to the No. 1 spot on IMDb’s most anticipated new Indian movies and shows list, giving the romantic comedy a sharp pre-release boost less than two weeks before it arrives in cinemas on June 19, 2026.
The makers captured the mood with the punchy announcement, “Shaken with anticipation and stirred by excitement, ; Cocktail #1 on the most anticipated movies list on IMDB ; ; #Cocktail2 Trailer out now on YouTube – youtu.be/XXxUqLHq1xg?si… ; ; #Cocktail2 in cinemas on 19th June.” The line fits the film’s glossy, messy and relationship-heavy world, especially after the trailer leaned hard into friendship, desire, heartbreak and chaos.
Cocktail 2 Trailer Takes Over The Conversation
The official trailer for Cocktail 2 was released by Maddock Films on YouTube on June 2, 2026, and has crossed 43 million views. The video description sets the tone with the line, “From friends to lovers to CHAOS, the perfect is back.”
The three-minute trailer introduces a tangled emotional setup between Shahid, Kriti and Rashmika’s characters, with the central dynamic moving between comfort, attraction and emotional fallout. One of the trailer’s standout lines spells out its relationship philosophy: “But love is like that worn-out T-shirt that you sleep best in.” Another moment turns playful when a character says, “I’m not a diamond. I’m the Kohinoor. It’s not that easy to own me.”
The trailer also brings back the musical flavour associated with the Cocktail brand, including the licensed song “Tum Hi Ho Bandhu,” originally composed by Pritam with lyrics by Irshad Kamil and vocals by Neeraj Shridhar and Kavita Seth.
What Cocktail 2 Brings To Cinemas
Cocktail 2 has been directed by Homi Adajania, who also helmed the 2012 film Cocktail. The film stars Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles, with Maddock Films backing the project alongside producers Dinesh Vijan, Luv Ranjan, Pramita R Vijan and Ankur Garg.
The film is positioned as a contemporary romantic comedy drama built around changing friendships and complicated love. Its premise follows Diya and Kunal, whose long relationship is shaken when Ally, an old friend, re-enters their lives, turning a personal plan into a chaotic emotional spiral.
For Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna, the film brings together three highly visible stars from different career zones, adding to its audience pull. With the IMDb ranking now amplifying the conversation and the trailer driving strong digital traction, Cocktail 2 has become one of June’s most closely watched theatrical releases.
