Shahid Kapoor stars alongside Tripti Dimri in the Valentine's Day release 'O Romeo,' directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. The film, which is the third collaboration between Kapoor and Bhardwaj following notable hits like 'Kaminey' and 'Haider,' has received a positive response for its trailer and popular songs. The cast also features notable actors such as Nana Patekar, Disha Patani, and veteran actress Farida Jalal.

Although the initial advance booking for 'O Romeo' wasn't strong, ticket sales picked up as the release date approached, leading to approximately 120,000 tickets being booked in advance, generating roughly 30 million rupees. Reviewers have given mixed feedback; however, a common point is the recognition of Shahid's strong performance. With this development, the film appears set for a solid opening over its release period, particularly benefiting from the Valentine's Day timing.

As 'O Romeo' releases, many are watching its box office performance closely, especially considering the expectations around Shahid Kapoor's past successes. The film's marketing and the existing fanfare from previous collaborations between the lead and the director could contribute significantly to its reception in theaters, establishing a new benchmark for Kapoor over the past five years when it comes to openings.
