Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan's 'Cocktail' opens to full houses


Cocktail has taken a strong opening at the box office.

The Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan and Diana Penty love-triangle collected over Rs 10.7 crore (£1.25m) in India on its first day.

"Cocktail‬ *early estimates* Friday around 10.75 cr to 11 cr. Major contribution from plexes, limited single screen release," revealedtrade analyst Taran Adarsh.

The film - which was largely shot in London - has also performed well in international territories.

"Cocktail UK Fri £86,097 ... Australia Fri A$45,811 ... New Zealand Fri NZ$12,341 ... UAE Thu AED650,000 ... Overall, good start (sic)," Adarsh confirmed.

Filmfare magazine editor Jitesh Pillaai announced that he had been unable to secure tickets to see the new release in Mumbai.

Posting on Twitter, he wrote: "Tried to catch Cocktail. Housefull. The group returns."

UK Bollywood fans unable to get tickets for the movie found alternate ways of gaining admission.

"My friends bought tickets for another show at a cinema in Wandsworth, then sneaked in to watchCocktail," a source told Digital Spy.

"The extra audience members meant, however, that some people ended up sitting on the floor," the source added.
