‘O’ Romeo’ : Shahid Kapoor Starrer Races Past Rs 30 Crore Over Opening Weekend
Mumbai : Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri’s romantic action thriller O’ Romeo, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, has delivered a solid performance at the box office during its opening weekend. Released on February 13, 2026, coinciding with Valentine’s Day, the film has crossed the Rs 30 crore mark in India net collections within three days, marking Shahid Kapoor’s strongest post-pandemic opening.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, O’ Romeo opened on Friday (Day 1) with Rs 8.5 crore net in India. Collections surged on Saturday (Day 2, Valentine’s Day), jumping nearly 49% to Rs 12.65 crore, driven by strong urban multiplex turnout and romantic appeal. On Sunday (Day 3), the film saw a slight drop amid competition from a high-profile India vs Pakistan T20 cricket match, earning around Rs 9 crore net. This brought the opening weekend total to Rs 30.15 crore net in India.

Early estimates for Day 4 (Monday) indicate a further decline, typical for weekdays, with collections likely in the low single digits as the film faces the Monday blues. As of the latest updates, cumulative India net stands at approximately Rs 30.15-30.39 crore, with gross figures around Rs 36 crore domestically. Worldwide collections have reached Rs 40.6 crore, including overseas contributions.
The film, a romantic revenge drama reportedly inspired by elements of Mumbai’s underworld, features a supporting cast including Nana Patekar and others. Despite mixed reviews praising its style but critiquing substance, the box office momentum highlights Shahid Kapoor’s draw in the genre, outperforming his recent releases like Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.
Trade analysts note the Valentine’s boost and Shahid’s fan base helped sustain numbers, though sustaining momentum mid-week will be key. Final Day 4 figures are awaited as theaters continue shows.
