Shahid Kapoor’s O Romeo Dominates Box Office with Strongest Performance Since Kabir Singh
Shahid Kapoor’s latest cinematic venture, O’ Romeo, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, has emerged as a significant box office success, marking the actor’s most stable theatrical run since his 2019 blockbuster Kabir Singh. By its first Monday, the film maintained steady momentum, collecting ₹4.75 crore nett in India and bringing its four-day cumulative total to ₹39.26 crore. This performance notably outpaces Kapoor’s recent releases, such as Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and Deva, signaling a strong comeback for the actor in a lead role. The film opened with ₹9.1 crore on Friday and saw a significant peak over the weekend, particularly on Saturday with ₹14.50 crore, proving its appeal despite receiving mixed critical reviews.
The film’s commercial success is bolstered by an ensemble cast featuring Nana Patekar, Triptii Dimri, and Vikrant Massey, with Shahid Kapoor’s individual performance receiving widespread acclaim. Industry analysts project that the film is well on its way to crossing the ₹50 crore milestone within its first week, though it faces upcoming competition from new releases like Assi and Do Deewane Seher Mein. Despite the arrival of new titles, O’ Romeo has benefited from strong weekday stability and positive word-of-mouth regarding its production quality, positioning it as a standout hit in the current Bollywood landscape.
