Shahid Kapoor’s crime-action thriller O’ Romeo, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, earned ₹8.5 crore net on Day 1 and ₹30.15 crore net over its opening weekend. Despite strong Valentine’s Day buzz, collections slowed on Day 3, impacted by mixed reviews and competition. Analysts say weekday performance will determine its box office trajectory.
O’ Romeo, starring Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, and Vikrant Massey, opened in theatres on February 13, 2026. The film, based on Hussain Zaidi’s Mafia Queens of Mumbai, marks Kapoor’s fourth collaboration with Vishal Bhardwaj.
The movie registered ₹8.5 crore net on Day 1, ₹12.65 crore net on Day 2, and ₹9 crore net on Day 3, bringing the weekend total to ₹30.15 crore net across India. While the film benefitted from Valentine’s Day weekend hype, Sunday collections dipped due to mixed audience response and competing releases.
Trade experts note that weekday collections will be crucial in determining whether O’ Romeo sustains momentum or faces a sharp decline.
