Let’s be real: nobody expected O Romeo to quietly crawl past the Rs. 50 crore nett mark. A slow opening, a sluggish second weekend, and yet here we are — Rs. 50.75 crore nett and still ticking on Day 11. BOGO offers, an open theatrical window, and a stubborn fan base have kept Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri’s romantic film in the game longer than its early numbers suggested.

O Romeo Box Office — Complete Week-wise Breakdown
| Period | Collection (Nett) |
|---|---|
| Week 1 Total | Rs. 42.00 crore |
| 2nd Friday | Rs. 1.90 crore |
| 2nd Saturday | Rs. 2.90 crore |
| 2nd Sunday | Rs. 2.70 crore |
| 2nd Monday | Rs. 1.25 crore (est.) |
| 11-Day Running Total | Rs. 50.75 crore |
So What Do These Numbers Actually Mean?
The second Monday drop from the previous Friday stands at about 35% — decent on paper, but not particularly meaningful when the base itself is low. The second week so far has earned Rs. 8.75 crore, with the full second week projected to land around Rs. 12 crore nett.

The Rs. 50 crore milestone was reached partly thanks to BOGO (Buy One Get One) promotional ticket offers, which inflate nett numbers but actually hurt the film’s theatrical share since the exhibitor still bears the cost of the free seat. It’s a perception win, not a profit win — but at this stage, perception matters.
With no major competition at the box office until Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic arrive on March 19th, O Romeo has a clear runway over the next couple of weeks. A Rs. 60 crore nett total is achievable — if the film holds its screens and the remaining audience trickles in.
The Vishal Bhardwaj Factor
Director Vishal Bhardwaj is celebrated as one of Hindi cinema’s finest artistic filmmakers, but his track record at the box office has historically been modest. His collaborations with Shahid Kapoor — Kaminey and Haider — performed better than most, but Rangoon faltered and O Romeo appears to be following a similar pattern: critically appreciated, commercially underwhelming.
