Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri’s romantic thriller **O Romeo** wrapped its opening weekend with mixed results at the box office. While Valentine’s Day brought exceptional numbers, Sunday witnessed a sharp decline, leaving industry experts questioning the film’s theatrical legs.

## O Romeo Box Office Breakdown

| Day | India Collections (Nett) | Growth |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Friday | ₹7.75 Cr | Opening Day |

## Why Did Sunday Collections Drop?

Despite Valentine’s Day momentum, O Romeo experienced a 30% decline on Sunday. The primary culprit? The high-stakes India vs Pakistan cricket match that dominated viewer attention.

Director Vishal Bharadwaj’s dark romantic thriller struggled to maintain Saturday’s energy. The India gross stands at ₹33 crore, while overseas markets contributed USD 1.3 million (approximately ₹12 crore).

## Performance Analysis

**The Good:** Valentine’s Day proved golden with a solid 51% jump. The film’s darker, thriller-oriented narrative found its audience.

**The Challenge:** With a massive production budget from Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, ₹45 crore worldwide isn’t encouraging. Modern rom-coms operate in similar ranges, but O Romeo’s premium economics demand stronger performance.

**The Hope:** If Monday holds remain stable, the film could reach respectable lifetime figures during the pre-Dhurandhar lull period.

## What’s Next for O Romeo?

The critical Monday test awaits. Strong weekday holds could salvage the theatrical run. Industry watchers believe the film needs consistent daily collections between ₹3-4 crore to achieve commercial viability.
