O Romeo was expected to mark a strong comeback for Shahid Kapoor. The film was designed as a mass friendly romantic action entertainer with wide appeal.
Shahid Kapoor reunited with Vishal Bharadwaj for this project. The duo had earlier delivered acclaimed work, raising expectations for box office success.
However, the opening day numbers have fallen short. The film opened slowly during the day but saw some improvement in evening and night shows.
O Romeo, starring Tripti Dimri alongside Shahid, managed to collect 9 crore rupees on day one. While this is the highest opening among Shahid’s recent films, it is still far below the benchmark set by Kabir Singh.
The film was positioned as a Valentine’s Day release and had the right genre appeal. Despite that, the opening figures remained underwhelming for a comeback vehicle.
Other recent Shahid films such as Devaa, TBMAUJ, and Jersey also opened in the range of 5.5 to 3.2 crore rupees. This has led fans to question the pattern behind his box office run.
When compared to contemporaries like Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and even younger stars like Vicky Kaushal and Varun Dhawan, Shahid’s success rate appears slower.
Most viewers agree that his performances remain strong. The concern seems to lie in script selection rather than acting ability.
After O Romeo, Shahid may need to reassess his choices. A shift in storytelling and experimentation could be key to breaking this box office streak.
