What is Cocktail 2 about?
Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 revolves around Kunal and Diya, a couple who have been together for years. Things seem pretty settled between them until Ally, an old friend, comes back into their lives.
And then comes the trouble.
What starts as a seemingly harmless plan to test Kunal’s loyalty quickly gets messy when feelings enter the picture. Ally starts developing genuine feelings for Kunal, putting the relationship between all three characters under serious pressure.
Basically, it has all the ingredients of a classic Bollywood relationship mess — love, friendship, jealousy, misunderstandings and a lot of emotional confusion.
Who stars in Cocktail 2?
The film brings together a pretty interesting combination of actors.
*Shahid Kapoor* plays Kunal, while *Rashmika Mandanna* plays Diya and *Kriti Sanon* steps into the role of Ally. The supporting cast includes names such as Dimple Kapadia, Boman Irani and Pankaj Tripathi.
And yes, the Shahid-Kriti-Rashmika combination is probably one of the biggest reasons people are curious to watch the film on OTT.

From theatres to Netflix
Cocktail 2 arrived in cinemas on June 19, 2026. The film received mixed reactions, with some viewers enjoying the performances and chemistry while others felt that the story didn’t quite live up to its potential. Critics were also divided, with Rotten Tomatoes currently listing a 23% critics score alongside a 69% audience score.
That mixed theatrical response could actually work in the film’s favour on OTT.
A movie that people may not have wanted to spend money on at the cinema suddenly becomes a much easier choice when it’s sitting on Netflix. You know the feeling — weekend, snacks ready, no parking problems, no expensive tickets, and you can judge the movie for yourself.
When and where can you watch Cocktail 2?
As per the latest reports and OTT listings, *Cocktail 2 is expected to start streaming on Netflix from August 14, 2026*.
So if you were waiting for its digital release, this weekend could finally be your chance.
And considering the cast alone, Cocktail 2 is likely to get plenty of attention once it lands on Netflix. Whether you end up loving it, questioning the characters’ decisions, or simply watching it for Shahid, Kriti and Rashmika — that’s another story.
But one thing is certain: the Cocktail 2 OTT wait is almost over.
