Vishal Bharadwaj’s O’Romeo, starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, is fighting an uphill battle at the box office. Despite a glitzy cast and a big-budget production, the film has failed to set the cash registers ringing the way everyone hoped.

O’Romeo Overview

Day	Net Collection
Week 1 Total	Rs. 42.00 Cr
2nd Friday	Rs. 1.90 Cr
2nd Saturday	Rs. 2.90 Cr
2nd Sunday	Rs. 2.70 Cr
2nd Monday	Rs. 1.25 Cr
2nd Tuesday	Rs. 1.25 Cr
2nd Wednesday (Est.)	Rs. 1.00 Cr
Running Total	~Rs. 53 Cr

The film saw a 20% drop on its 2nd Wednesday, collecting an estimated Rs. 1 crore. The second week’s total stands at Rs. 11 crore in 6 days, with a likely close of Rs. 12 crore. That puts the 14-day cumulative near the Rs. 55 crore nett mark.

Where Did O’Romeo Go Wrong?

Honestly? It’s a mix of things. The film, while visually appealing, didn’t connect deeply with the mass audience. Box office performance is notoriously hard to predict — but experts largely agree that word-of-mouth is the make-or-break factor for big-budget releases, especially in Week 2.

BOGO (Buy One Get One) offers have helped prop up footfall numbers, but as trade analysts point out, these don’t translate into proportionally better revenue sharing for the producers. It’s a perception win, not a financial one.

The film is now projected to wrap its entire theatrical run somewhere around Rs. 60 crore — a disappointing figure for a production of this scale. For more updates on Bollywood box office, check our latest entertainment coverage at technosports.co.in.

Is There Still Hope?

Realistically, no dramatic turnaround is expected. The trajectory is set, and barring some unexpected viral moment, O’Romeo will quietly exit theaters having underperformed. Shahid Kapoor fans will be hoping his next project fares better.
