Shahid Kapoor's 'O' Romeo' Struggles at Box Office with Declining Collections
Shahid Kapoor's highly anticipated film 'O' Romeo' was expected to mark a triumphant return for the actor, but it has instead faced significant disappointment from audiences and critics alike. The movie has failed to attract substantial crowds to theaters, resulting in underwhelming box office performance that reflects its mixed reception.
Day 12 Box Office Collection Details
According to the latest Sacnilk report, 'O' Romeo' earned a mere Rs 1.65 crore on its second Tuesday, which is Day 12 since its release. This figure matches its second Monday collection, indicating a stagnant trend in earnings. The film initially showed promise with a strong opening weekend but has since experienced a consistent downward trajectory in daily collections.
Total and Worldwide Earnings Analysis
The domestic total collection for 'O' Romeo' now stands at Rs 59.05 crore. Globally, the film has accumulated Rs 92.95 crore in earnings. Despite these numbers, the movie's performance falls short of expectations for a major Bollywood release featuring a star like Shahid Kapoor.
Detailed Day-Wise Collection Breakdown
- Week 1 Collection: Rs 47.1 crore
- Day 8 [2nd Friday]: Rs 2.15 crore
- Day 9 [2nd Saturday]: Rs 3.4 crore

Theater Occupancy and Audience Response
The Sacnilk report further reveals that 'O' Romeo' recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of only 12.12% on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. This low occupancy rate underscores the film's inability to engage moviegoers, contributing to its disappointing box office figures.
Director Vishal Bhardwaj's Controversial Statement
In a surprising twist, director Vishal Bhardwaj has defended the film despite its poor commercial performance. He told PTI, "I need to say this to break the hearts of critics who panned the film. No matter what they felt, this is going to be the most successful film of my life. I am so proud of this film. I am not ashamed of it at all." This statement highlights a stark contrast between critical reception and the director's personal satisfaction with the project.
Cast and Release Information
Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, 'O' Romeo' features Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri in lead roles. The ensemble cast includes notable actors such as Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, Disha Patani, Farida Jalal, and Vikrant Massey. The film was released in theaters on February 13, 2026, but has since struggled to maintain momentum.
