Box Office Reality Check: O Romeo’s Monday Dip Sparks Comparisons with Kabir Singh

After a promising weekend, Shahid Kapoor’s O Romeo faced its first real test at the box office on Monday. The Vishal Bhardwaj-directed gangster drama, co-starring Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, and Avinash Tiwary, recorded a ₹4.75 crore net collection on Day 4, marking a steep 47% decline compared to Sunday.

While the film’s opening weekend crossed ₹30 crore, the Monday slowdown highlights challenges in sustaining momentum. Comparisons with Kapoor’s earlier hit Kabir Singh reveal weaker weekday resilience, though O Romeo still performed better than recent releases like Deva and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.

Key Highlights:

• Day 4 Earnings: ₹4.75 crore net, down 47% from Sunday.
• Weekend Performance: Crossed ₹30 crore in first three days.
• Comparisons: Lags behind Kabir Singh’s weekday hold but outpaces other current releases.
• Star Power: Shahid Kapoor reunites with Vishal Bhardwaj after Rangoon.
• Global Reach: Film has crossed ₹51 crore worldwide despite domestic dip.

The coming weekdays will be crucial in determining whether O Romeo can stabilize or continue its downward trend.
