Shahid Kapoor’s ‘O Romeo’ gets off to an average start at the India box office
Vishal Bhardwaj’s much‑anticipated action thriller ‘O Romeo’, starring Shahid Kapoor, has opened to an average response at the India box office.
Early estimates released today suggest that the film’s opening‑day figures are lower than expected, particularly given its genre and sizeable production budget. As a hard‑hitting action drama, ‘O Romeo’ was widely expected to draw stronger initial footfall, especially in major urban centres.

The film has also received a notably wide release for a title with limited mass‑market appeal, which may have contributed to the softer opening. Its first‑day performance is comparable to that of ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’, though that film operated on a smaller scale. Given its genre and star power, ‘O Romeo’ will need a stronger turnout during evening shows and across the weekend to build momentum.
