Just days before its release, the film has been awarded an ‘A’ certificate, meaning it’s strictly for adult audiences. And ever since the news broke, social media has been buzzing with reactions. Interestingly, this certification has also created a unique milestone in the careers of Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, Cocktail 2 is all set to hit theatres on June 19. Ahead of its release, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted the film an A certificate, which means only adults aged 18 and above will be allowed to watch it in theatres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The film is also reported to have a runtime of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, making it slightly longer than the original Cocktail. Now let’s talk about the record that’s grabbing everyone’s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Kriti Sanon, this marks the first A-rated film in her 12-year Bollywood career. As for Rashmika Mandanna, this is her second A-rated Hindi film after Animal, which went on to become a massive box office success. And when it comes to Shahid Kapoor, A-rated films are nothing new. Over the years, films like Kaminey, Udta Punjab, Kabir Singh, and O’Romeo have all received A certificates. Interestingly, this is the first time in Shahid’s career that two of his A-rated films are releasing back-to-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, an adult rating often creates curiosity among audiences and generates additional buzz before release. Just think about Animal. Before its release, the film’s A certificate became a major talking point, and it eventually went on to become one of the biggest box office hits of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, all eyes are on Cocktail 2 to see whether it can recreate that magic. Interestingly, the original Cocktail, released in 2012, had received a U\/A certificate, making it suitable for a much wider audience. This time, however, it appears the makers have opted for a more mature, bold, and intense love story, resulting in an A certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, the CBFC has not officially revealed the exact scenes or content that led to the adult rating. Do you think an A certificate actually helps a film by creating more excitement? Or does it end up limiting its audience by keeping family viewers away? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
