Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri’s latest cinematic collaboration, O Romeo, is making significant waves at the ticket windows. Despite a polarized critical reception, the Vishal Bhardwaj directorial has managed to sustain momentum through its first crucial Monday. The film, which reimagines a gritty underworld narrative inspired by Hussain Zaidi’s Mafia Queens of Mumbai, is proving that star power and a Valentine’s week release can drive steady footfalls.
A Strong Worldwide Performance
According to the latest reports, the O Romeo worldwide box office collection has reached an impressive ₹61.3 crore within just four days of its release. This is a notable achievement as the film has already surpassed the lifetime global earnings of Shahid Kapoor’s previous theatrical outing, Deva, which concluded its run at ₹55.8 crore.
The global figures are bolstered by a decent ₹15 crore contribution from overseas markets, while the domestic market remains the primary engine for growth.
The Monday Test: A Surprising Hold
One of the most encouraging signs for the film is its performance on the first Monday. Typically, big-budget films witness a steep decline after the opening weekend, but O Romeo showed a resilient trend. As per industry trackers, the O Romeo box office collections saw a less than 50% drop on Monday compared to its Sunday earnings.
The film netted approximately ₹4.50 crore on its fourth day, bringing the total India nett collection to ₹32 crore. This steady hold is being attributed to a mix of factors, including “Buy One Get One” (BOGO) offers and the spillover effect from a heavy sports-centric Sunday.
O Romeo Box Office Collection Breakup (India Nett)
| Day | India Nett Collection (Approx) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Friday) | ₹7.75 Crore |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | ₹11.50 Crore |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | ₹8.25 Crore |
| Day 4 (Monday) | ₹4.50 Crore |
| Total (4 Days) | ₹32.00 Crore |
| Worldwide Gross | ₹61.30 Crore |
The Road Ahead
With a diverse ensemble cast including Vikrant Massey, Nana Patekar, and Tamannaah Bhatia, O Romeo is aiming for a strong finish in its first week. If the film continues to hold its ground during the weekdays, it is expected to touch the ₹42-45 crore nett mark in India by the end of its first week. For now, Shahid Kapoor fans have plenty to celebrate as the actor continues to experiment with dark, high-stakes dramas.
