Vishal Bharadwaj’s romantic action drama O’ Romeo starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri is limping toward the finish line. After a promising first week, the film has shed audience interest sharply, and now survives primarily on the strength of Buy-One-Get-One ticket offers. Still, it marches on — and Rs 60 crore now looks like the realistic final destination.

The Hard Truth: A Film That Couldn’t Cover Its Budget
O’ Romeo is a tough case study in Bollywood economics. The Buy-One-Get-One offer artificially inflates nett figures but eats into the distributor’s actual share, making the real revenue look considerably thinner than the headline numbers suggest.
Reports indicate that even a better performance — say, on par with Shahid Kapoor’s 2024 hit Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya — wouldn’t have been enough to recover the film’s production and marketing costs. The budget was simply too high for a film that lacked a franchise, a massive star-driven draw, or a compelling commercial hook.
Director Vishal Bharadwaj’s lyrical, moody style rarely translates to blockbuster returns — but O’ Romeo appeared to be positioned for a commercial audience it couldn’t fully win over.
The film’s final lifetime collection is projected to land somewhere around Rs 60 crore nett in India — a number that, while respectable on paper, doesn’t tell a happy financial story.
