Shahid Kapoor’s action drama O’Romeo has finally hit theatres. However, the film has opened without the expected buzz or excitement.
Initial reviews have been mixed. Advance bookings were average, and trade circles expected modest opening numbers.
Many hoped that positive word of mouth would boost collections after release. But early public talk suggests the momentum may not improve much.
The film features a strong cast including Shahid Kapoor, Tripti Dimri, Avinash Tiwary and Nana Patekar. Despite this lineup, the response has been underwhelming.
Viewers have criticised the weak and stretched plot. Several social media reactions mention that the film lacks emotional depth.
Some users said the film had all the elements for a gripping drama. Yet they felt it failed to deliver a satisfying cinematic experience.
Director Vishal Bhardwaj has also faced criticism. A section of the audience believes he missed a major opportunity with such a talented cast.
The biggest disappointment, according to viewers, is Shahid Kapoor’s script choice. While his performance shows intensity, many feel the story does not support him.
With this response, Shahid Kapoor’s anticipated box office comeback may have to wait. O’Romeo does not seem to offer the breakthrough many expected.
Overall, the film appears to have fallen short of expectations. Whether collections improve over the weekend remains to be seen.
