Background
Apart from Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, the film also features Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Vikrant Massey and Tamannaah Bhatia in key roles. It is backed by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
The Shahid Kapoor starrer has also stayed ahead of other films currently playing in cinemas. It has comfortably surpassed the earnings of Border 2, which is now in its fourth week. The war drama collected approximately Rs 1.90 crore on Saturday.
Another release, Tu Yaa Main, which is sharing screens with O'Romeo, earned an estimated Rs 1.4 crore on Saturday. Its total weekend collection currently stands at around Rs 2 crore.
Ahead of the film's release, Vishal Bhardwaj shared an emotional note on Instagram expressing pride in the project. He wrote that the film made him realise the immense capacity he holds for both "love and violence".
In his post, the director said, "Before the critics speak and before the box office delivers its verdict, I feel compelled to share how deeply proud I am of this film. Before the accolades or the criticism arrive, I must thank, from the deepest part of my being, all my HODs who gave far more than was ever asked of them..."
Film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 in his NDTV review and wrote, "A vivid, visceral, and visually varied film, O'Romeo uses music as a solid narrative spine that supports the story of a bunch of flawed individuals fighting their adversaries and their own destructive instincts with inconsistent degrees of success. There is little in the film that is predictable."
