Box office: Shahid Kapoor's 'O'Romeo' mints Rs 9.01 crore on opening day

Shahid Kapoor's O'Romeo opens with Rs 9.01 crore. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh notes a slow start but hopes for Valentine's Day growth.

"#ORomeo opened on a slow note, though collections multiplied as the day progressed - Taran Adarsh"

Mumbai, February 14

Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj's latest collaboration 'O'Romeo' kickstarted its box office business on a "slow note", as per trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

The film earned Rs 9.01 crore on its opening day. Taran Adarsh hopes that collections could improve on Saturday due to Valentine's Day, but with the India-Pakistan match on Sunday, business may fluctuate.

''#ORomeo opened on a slow note, though collections multiplied as the day progressed - particularly during the evening and night shows... Urban centres have performed comparatively better. The film must witness solid growth on Saturday and Sunday to show better weekend results. Valentine's Day is expected to boost Saturday footfalls, but the high-voltage #INDvsPAK cricket match on Sunday evening could dent collections. #ORomeo [Week 1] Fri ₹ 9.01 cr. #India biz | Official Nett BOC | #Boxoffice," Adarsh posted on X.

'O' Romeo' marks the fourth collaboration between Shahid and Vishal Bhardwaj after 'Kaminey', 'Haider', and 'Rangoon'.

Earlier in the morning, Shahid shared several stills from the film and wished everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

"Here's to love in all its forms. Happy Valentine's day. WORLD OF OROMEO is in theatres. See you in the cinemas," he wrote on Instagram.

The film also stars Triptii Dimri, Avinash Tiwary, Vikrant Massey, Farida Jalal, Nana Patekar and Tamannaah Bhatia in key roles.

The clash with the India-Pakistan match is really unfortunate timing for the film's release. Sunday evening shows will be empty! Couldn't they have planned the release date better?

Saw it last night in Pune. It's a beautiful, nuanced film. Triptii Dimri is fantastic. But it's not your typical Valentine's Day rom-com, so maybe that's why the opening is slow. Deserves more love! ❤️

Respectfully, I think the marketing was confusing. Was it a romance, a drama, a musical? The title 'O' Romeo' sets one expectation, but Vishal Bhardwaj's films are always deeper. Audience wasn't clear what to expect.

Cricket match on Sunday will definitely affect collections. But true cinema lovers will find time for both! Planning to watch the match and catch a late-night show after. 🇮🇳🍿

The cast is stellar! Nana Patekar, Farida Jalal, Vikrant Massey... such powerful actors together. Box office numbers aren't everything. Hope it has a long run based on quality.
