Shahid Kapoor’s O’Romeo earned Rs 8.25 crore on the first day

O’Romeo, starring Shahid Kapoor and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, released in theatres on Friday amid high expectations. Marking their fourth collaboration, the violent romantic drama also features Triptii Dimri and is set against Mumbai’s underworld. Despite strong pre-release buzz, the film recorded a modest opening, earning around ₹8.25 crore net on Day 1, according to Sacnilk, falling short of the double-digit mark.

The film registered an overall Hindi occupancy of 14.86 percent. While morning and afternoon shows remained low, night shows saw improvement, indicating gradual audience interest. Metro cities performed better, with Mumbai showing nearly 19 percent occupancy, suggesting urban traction.

Compared to Shahid Kapoor’s recent releases, O’Romeo has fared better than Deva and Jersey, but remains far behind his blockbuster Kabir Singh. With mixed reviews, the weekend performance will be crucial.

O’ Romeo is set to clash at the box office with Shanaya Kapoor’s Tu Yaa Main. According to reports, the film is also likely to stream on Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical window.
