Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri’s O Romeo has been grinding through its third week at the box office, and all eyes are now on the second Saturday of its theatrical run. On Day 15 (Friday, February 27), the film picked up an estimated ₹1.15 crore net in India, a figure typical of a weekday-like Friday in the third week for a film of this scale and trajectory. The second Friday showed a slight dip compared to the second Thursday’s ₹1.25 crore, which wasn’t entirely unexpected given the general slowdown that has set in after the film’s strong opening fortnight.
Now entering Day 16 – its third Saturday – O Romeo is expected to see a natural weekend uptick. Early trade signals suggest collections in the range of ₹1.50 crore to ₹1.80 crore, driven by the usual Saturday footfall bump in urban multiplexes. While no major new Hindi release is competing directly this weekend, the film is operating at reduced screen counts compared to its opening days. The postponement of The Kerala Story 2 had earlier given O Romeo some breathing room, but the upcoming arrival of Dhurandhar: The Revenge looms as a potential screen disruptor in the days ahead.
Overall, the film has crossed the ₹62 crore net mark in India across 15 days, which is modest but still makes it Shahid Kapoor’s fifth-highest career grosser, having surpassed Udta Punjab’s lifetime total. The third weekend will be a telling indicator of whether the film can nudge closer to the ₹70 crore net milestone domestically before concluding its theatrical run.

About O Romeo and Future Prediction
O Romeo is a 2026 Hindi-language romantic action thriller directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, and is based on the popular book Mafia Queens of Mumbai by Hussain Zaidi. The film stars Shahid Kapoor as Hussain Ustara, a feared razor-wielding gangster, alongside Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, Disha Patani, and Farida Jalal, with Vikrant Massey making a special appearance. It marks the fourth collaboration between Shahid and Bhardwaj, following the cult favourites Kaminey and Haider, and was released on February 13, 2026, riding the Valentine’s Day weekend wave.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, with widespread praise going to Shahid Kapoor’s intense performance, the period-accurate Mumbai setting, the music by Vishal Bhardwaj with Gulzar’s lyrics, and the cinematography. However, a section of reviewers felt the screenplay ran too long and lost its emotional clarity in the second half. Despite mixed reception, the film held reasonably well through its first two weeks, benefiting partly from a Buy One Get One Free offer during the initial days and the absence of a strong competing Hindi release.
Looking ahead, O Romeo’s lifetime domestic collection is expected to settle somewhere between ₹68 crore and ₹72 crore net, placing it firmly in the “average” to “below average” bracket given its ₹100 crore total cost. The film needs to continue its third-weekend hold and avoid a steep crash before the next major release hits screens. While the worldwide total is hovering close to the ₹100 crore gross mark — largely supported by a solid overseas run — the film will fall well short of recovering its full investment at the theatrical level. Its post-theatrical life on Amazon Prime Video may add to the overall profitability picture for the producers.
