Even Holi couldn’t save it. O’ Romeo, the romantic action drama directed by the legendary Vishal Bharadwaj and starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, has now entered what can only be called a quiet wind-down phase at the Indian box office. After 20 days in theatres, the film sits at approximately Rs 57.50 crore nett — a number that, despite the star power and creative pedigree behind it, falls well short of covering its hefty production budget.

What Went Wrong?
The film had everything going for it on paper — a Vishal Bharadwaj directorial, Shahid Kapoor returning to a big-screen romantic actioner after years, Triptii Dimri fresh off her post-Animal rise, and a packed ensemble featuring Nana Patekar, Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia, Avinash Tiwary, and Farida Dalal. Backed by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, this was no small production.
Yet the numbers tell a sobering story. The film’s third week has been largely propped up by a Buy-One-Get-One (BOGO) promotional offer — a strategy that inflates the nett collection figures while eating into actual box office share revenue. Even accounting for this, the film is heading toward a final lifetime cume of roughly Rs 60 crore nett in India — a figure that, given the scale and budget involved, points to a clear commercial loss.
For context, even if O’ Romeo had performed closer to Shahid Kapoor’s previous hit Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, it still would have fallen short of recovering costs. The budget simply outpaced what the film’s audience draw could sustain.
What’s Next?
With Dhurandhar The Revenge on the horizon as the next major Bollywood release, O’ Romeo is expected to lose more screens quickly. The film will likely wrap up its theatrical run around the Rs 60 crore nett mark, with little momentum remaining.
