Valentine’s Day weekend just got a fresh dose of drama with the release of O Romeo, the stylish thriller directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and starring Shahid Kapoor alongside Triptii Dimri. The film hit theaters on Friday, February 13, 2026, and made a steady start — benefiting from the pre-Valentine excitement — even though it didn’t quite reach double-digit numbers on day one.
O Romeo Box Office Collection Day 1 shows a decent launch for a mid-budget thriller. Early estimates put the India net collection at ₹8.25 crore, with India gross around ₹9.90 crore.
