Vishal Bharadwaj’s O’ Romeo had all the ingredients of a crowd-pleaser — a beloved star in Shahid Kapoor, rising sensation Triptii Dimri, and the legendary director behind the lens. Yet four weeks into its theatrical run, the numbers are telling a quieter story. Let’s break it all down.

Where Does O’ Romeo Stand Right Now?
On its 4th Monday, O’ Romeo collected just Rs. 25 lakh — a 15% dip from the previous Friday. While the hold is decent given where the film stands, it’s coming off an already low base. The total cume now sits at Rs. 59.45 crore nett, and the film is expected to wrap its theatrical run around the Rs. 60 crore mark.
That’s the end of the road for this one at the box office.
O’ Romeo — Week-by-Week Box Office Breakdown

| Week 2 | Rs. 11.75 crore |
| Week 3 (Full) | Rs. 4.50 crore |

The film had a strong opening week, but the curve dropped steeply after that — a classic case of front-loaded collections.
O’ Romeo Film — A Quick Look
O’ Romeo is a romantic action drama helmed by acclaimed director Vishal Bharadwaj, known for masterpieces like Omkara and Haider. The film stars Shahid Kapoor as the lead alongside Triptii Dimri, who had earlier made waves with Animal. Set against a backdrop of love and conflict, the film attempts to blend raw emotion with stylized action — classic Bharadwaj territory.
Despite a polished product on screen, it struggled to find a wide enough audience to justify its production and marketing costs.
Why Did It Underperform?
Honestly? The budget was just too ambitious for what the film could attract at the box office. Even with the Buy-One-Get-One (BOGO) promotional offers inflating the nett figures slightly, the underlying numbers remained soft.
For context, even if O’ Romeo had performed like Shahid’s earlier mid-range hit Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, it still wouldn’t have been enough to break even. The costs simply didn’t match the commercial appeal the film generated.
What This Means for Bollywood in 2026
O’ Romeo joins a growing list of critically respected but commercially underperforming Bollywood films. It’s a reminder that even big names and talented directors need a strong commercial hook to pull in masses.
