## Movie-by-Movie Breakdown

### 1. Kabir Singh (₹20.25 Crore)

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s intense romantic drama remains Shahid’s career-defining blockbuster. The protagonist’s toxic obsession with Preeti (Kiara Advani) sparked massive controversy yet shattered records, ultimately grossing over ₹278 crore domestically. The film’s raw portrayal of heartbreak and self-destruction resonated deeply with audiences despite polarizing critics.

### 2. Padmaavat (₹18.25 Crore)

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus saw Shahid as Maharawal Ratan Singh opposite Deepika Padukone’s legendary Rani Padmavati. Though [overshadowed by Ranveer Singh’s menacing Alauddin Khilji](https://technosports.co.in), Shahid delivered a dignified performance in this ₹585 crore grosser that survived pre-release controversies and Karni Sena protests.

### 3. Shaandaar (₹11.75 crore)

Vikas Bahl’s destination wedding rom-com paired Shahid with Alia Bhatt in a visually stunning but narratively weak attempt. Despite the ₹11.75 crore opening and exotic European locales, the film’s fairy-tale aesthetic couldn’t save it from becoming a commercial disappointment.

### 4. Udta Punjab (₹9.50 Crore)

Abhishek Chaubey’s hard-hitting expose on Punjab’s drug crisis showcased Shahid as rockstar Tommy Singh. His uninhibited performance in this ensemble piece (alongside Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh) earned critical acclaim while battling Central Board censorship controversies. The film grossed ₹96 crore against a ₹45 crore budget.

### 5. R…Rajkumar (₹9.50 Crore)

Prabhu Deva’s massy entertainer featured Shahid in full-blown action hero mode opposite Sonakshi Sinha. The film’s “Saree Ke Fall Sa” became a chartbuster, helping it achieve Hit status with ₹66 crore collections despite mixed reviews about its regressive undertones.

### 6. O’Romeo (₹7.75 Crore)

Vishal Bhardwaj’s latest offering sees Shahid in a vendetta-driven role alongside Triptii Dimri and Avinash Tiwary. Released on February 13, 2026, the romantic action thriller outperformed recent releases *Teri Baaton Mein Uljha Jiya* (₹6.50 crore) and *Devaa* (₹5.50 crore), signaling [Shahid’s consistent drawing power](https://technosports.co.in) even amid evolving audience preferences.

### 7. Mausam (₹6.75 Crore)

Pankaj Kapur’s directorial debut spanning decades of love across changing seasons paired Shahid with real-life girlfriend (now ex) Priyanka Chopra. Despite the strong opening and Pankaj’s directorial ambitions, the film’s lengthy runtime and scattered narrative led to underwhelming word-of-mouth.

### 8. Teri Baaton Mein Uljha Jiya (₹6.50 Crore)

This 2024 sci-fi romance explored Shahid’s romance with Kriti Sanon’s robot character SIFRA. The unique premise and charming chemistry delivered moderate success, though it couldn’t transcend its niche appeal to become a major blockbuster.

### 9. Batti Gul Meter Chalu (₹6.25 Crore)

Shree Narayan Singh’s social dramedy tackled electricity theft in rural India. Shahid’s earnest performance alongside Shraddha Kapoor addressed a relevant issue, but the preachy treatment and predictable storytelling limited its box office potential despite the promising start.

### 10. Phata Poster Nikhla Hero (₹5.75 Crore)

Rajkumar Santoshi’s action-comedy featured Shahid as a delusional wannabe hero who actually becomes one. Paired with Ileana D’Cruz, the film’s over-the-top humor and David Dhawan-esque slapstick failed to click with audiences, becoming a box office disaster.

## The Kabir Singh Factor

Six years after release, **Kabir Singh** remains untouchable as Shahid’s biggest opener—collecting nearly 2.6x more than O’Romeo. The film’s ₹20.25 crore start was phenomenal for a solo Shahid vehicle without franchise backing or ensemble cast support. It proved the actor could carry a film purely on performance intensity and character depth.

Even Bhansali’s spectacle **Padmaavat** (₹18.25 crore), with its ₹215 crore budget and star-studded cast, couldn’t surpass Kabir Singh’s raw opening power—a testament to how deeply the flawed protagonist connected with viewers.

## What O’Romeo’s Opening Means

At ₹7.75 crore, O’Romeo represents Shahid’s strongest solo opening since Kabir Singh if we exclude the multi-starrer Padmaavat. It demonstrates that audiences still trust the Shahid-Vishal Bhardwaj combination that previously delivered *Haider* and *Kaminey*.

The opening is particularly impressive given the Valentine’s Day release strategy and limited promotional campaign. With positive word-of-mouth building, O’Romeo could potentially join Shahid’s ₹100 crore club.
