The film 'O Romeo,' starring popular actors Shahid Kapoor and Tripti Dimri, initially struggled at the box office, with its performance appearing lackluster. After a solid opening on Friday with a collection of 9 crores, there was a notable jump on Saturday, where it earned about 14.5 crores. However, the film faced a significant dip in audience turnout on Sunday due to the much-anticipated T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan. It collected 11 crores on its third day, ending its opening weekend with over 34 crores.

The real test for 'O Romeo' came on Monday, and early trade reports indicate that the film has impressively withstood that challenge. On Monday, the film collected 5 crores, showing a much better hold compared to its initial performance. The makers acknowledged the tough competition from the cricket match but used a special ticket offer to entice viewers back into theaters. This strategy seems to have paid off as audience attendance held up better than expected despite external competition.

Overall, the film's box office journey reflects the unpredictable nature of audience preferences and market dynamics. As the collection numbers improve gradually, it raises questions about the resilience of the film and whether the market mood towards it is shifting positively. It will be interesting to see how 'O Romeo' fares in the coming weeks as the developers respond to viewer sentiment and external factors.
