O’Romeo Box Office Day 1: Can It Break Vishal Bhardwaj’s 12-Year-Old Record To Become His #1 Opener?

O’Romeo, featuring an impressive cast of Shahid Kapoor, Tripti Dimri, Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, Disha Patani, Farida Jalal, and Vikrant Massey, is just six days away from its release. After Sunny Deol’s Border 2, it’s the next big Bollywood release of 2026. With a maverick filmmaker, Vishal Bhardwaj, in the director’s chair, everyone is eager to see how it performs at the Indian box office on day 1. As of now, a fair-to-decent start seems confirmed, but will it be able to score Vishal’s biggest start? Let’s discuss it below!

O’Romeo to miss double-digit start

The Bollywood action thriller is scheduled to release on the eve of Valentine’s Day, February 13. While the trailer was received decently, the following assets didn’t push the buzz to the expected level. As a result, a double-digit start is now out of the equation. In the long run, the film might do well if word of mouth is positive, but as of now, a big start is not in the picture.

Unlikely to become Vishal Bhardwaj’s biggest opener

Going by the current buzz, O’Romeo is likely to open in the 5-6 crore net range at the Indian box office. With this, it’ll comfortably surpass Kaminey (4.39 crore) to register the fourth-biggest opening for Vishal Bhardwaj. With favorable word of mouth, the film might get an additional boost on day 1, pushing the number slightly above 6 crore. In this scenario, it can also beat Rangoon (6.07 crore) and Haider (6.14 crore). However, the first spot looks a bit out of reach.
