In a significant indicator of audience anticipation, the upcoming Bollywood film O’ Romeo has exceeded 55,000 expressions of interest on BookMyShow, positioning it as one of the most eagerly awaited releases of the year. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the action romantic thriller is scheduled for theatrical release on February 13, 2026, strategically timed just before Valentine’s Day.
The film features Shahid Kapoor in the lead role as a hardened gangster entangled in a forbidden love story, with Triptii Dimri starring opposite him, supported by Avinash Tiwary, Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Disha Patani. Set against post-independence Mumbai’s underworld, O’ Romeo explores themes of unrequited passion, gang warfare, and transformation through love, blending high-octane action, drama, and romance.
Recent data from BookMyShow shows a weekly interest increment of 15,800, propelling it to the top of trending lists. This surge follows the late January trailer release, which has generated substantial online buzz. Industry analysts attribute the popularity to the cast’s star power, Bhardwaj’s directorial style, and the Valentine’s Day alignment.
In broader context, O’ Romeo ranks among IMDb’s most anticipated Indian films of 2026. With advance bookings expected soon, the milestone underscores strong pre-release momentum, potentially setting the stage for a robust box office opening.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, the film stands poised to deliver a compelling narrative resonating with audiences seeking intensity and emotion in cinema.
