Siddhant Chaturvedi, Mrunal Thakur's Do Deewane Seher Mein, and Taapsee Pannu's Assi Box Office Predictions

Mumbai, February 18 - The Bollywood box office is heading for another low Friday as Do Deewane Seher Mein, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur, as well as Assi led by Taapsee Pannu, are expected to open on the lower side, reflecting the overall sluggish theatrical climate this month. Trade expectations suggest that Do Deewane Seher Mein will begin modestly, banking on urban multiplex audiences rather than mass centres. The trailer was received nicely, but with limited pre-release buzz and niche appeal, the film's fate will be decided almost entirely by audience feedback in the first few days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Trade is expecting the film to open in the range of 2 crore net. A strong emotional connect could help it grow over the weekend, but a flat start leaves little room for error. Similarly, director Anubhav Sinha's Assi, despite its socially driven courtroom narrative, is also expected to open on the lower side. The film targets a more discerning audience, which traditionally translates into slower starts, as the movie is headed to open in the range of 1.50 crore net. Positive reviews and strong word of mouth are crucial if it is to show any meaningful upward trend after release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) February has been largely lacklustre for Bollywood, with no release managing to generate genuine excitement or robust footfalls. There is Shahid Kapoor's O Romeo, which is clearly the best performing film of the month, but even it has failed to do justice to the cost and talent involved. Unless a miracle occurs, upcoming films (in February) do not promise much in terms of openings. The box office is expected to be back on its feet with Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic, which are releasing on March 19 next month. Given the massive hype around those two films, they are sure to light up the box office and bring cheers to the exibitors. Stay tuned...

O Romeo Box Office: Shahid Kapoor Starrer Mints Decent 47 Crore Net and 70+ Crore Worldwide In The First Week

Mumbai, February 19 - Shahid Kapoor-led O Romeo, has delivered a decent first-week performance at the box office. After seven days of theatrical run, the romantic-crime drama has collected around 47 crore net in India, indicating steady audience interest despite mixed word of mouth. O Romeo opened decently over its first weekend, earning 30+ crore net, benefiting from the Valentine's Day period. The movie showed better-than-expected hold on weekdays despite the usual drop. The BOGO offer and discounted prices helped the collection to remain steady. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the overseas box office, the Vishal Bhardwaj-directed flick collected around 18 crores in the first week, pushing the worldwide total to over 70 crores gross. While the numbers are respectable, the overall performance is underwhelming given the massive cost and talent involved. The second weekend will be crucial for the movie. There are a couple of new releases this week, which will take away some theatres, but O Romeo is expected to be the number 1 movie, as buzz is low for the upcoming films. It will be crucial for the film to hold well on Friday and then scorea significant jump over the weekend. Stay tuned...

O Romeo Faces Crucial Monday Test: Box Office Collections Dip After Steady Opening Weekend

The romantic entertainer O Romeo has encountered its first significant hurdle at the box office, witnessing a noticeable dip on its first Monday. After a promising start over the weekend, the film collected ₹4.85 Cr on Day 4, marking a 46.11% drop from its Sunday numbers. This downward trend is a standard Monday test for most commercial releases, but the film now needs to maintain steady footfalls throughout the weekdays to ensure long-term stability at the ticket windows. A closer look at Shahid Kapoor's box office history highlights a concerning trend for O Romeo. The film's ₹4.85 Cr Monday collection shows a clear struggle to match the mid-week resilience of his previous outings. Specifically, the action-entertainer R... Rajkumar maintained a significantly higher hold with a ₹6.55 Cr Monday. While O Romeo managed to narrowly edge past the figures of Udta Punjab (₹4.5 Cr), it failed to outpace Haider, which stood firm at ₹4.95 Cr. With the actor's top-tier lifetime earners like Padmaavat and Kabir Singh operating in a different league, the current performance suggests O Romeo will find it difficult to secure a dominant position in his career's top rankings. Despite the Monday slowdown, the film's overall domestic performance remains respectable. O Romeo opened with ₹8.5 Cr on Friday and saw a massive 48% jump on Saturday, peaking at ₹12.65 Cr. However, Sunday showed an early sign of exhaustion with a 28% decline, bringing in ₹9 Cr. This brings the total India Net Collection to an estimated ₹35 Cr within its first four days of release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   On the global front, the film is performing well, particularly in international markets. The Worldwide Collection currently stands at ₹53.3 Cr, bolstered by a solid ₹12 Cr contribution from the overseas circuit. In India, the Gross Collection has reached ₹41.3 Cr, with total footfalls estimated at approximately 1.74 million. While the Saturday surge indicated strong initial interest among youth and family audiences, Sunday’s business was significantly hampered by the high-voltage T20 match. Consequently, all eyes are now on the coming days to see if the film can stabilize and regain its momentum at the ticket windows. Produced as a high budget romantic drama, O Romeo now enters a decisive phase. While the cumulative four-day total is healthy, the film must hold its ground above the ₹3 Cr mark for the remainder of the week to be declared a hit.The focus now shifts to whether the film can regain its momentum during the evening shows and stabilize its daily collections as it progresses through the week.

O Romeo Vs TBMAUJ Vs Deva Box Office: Shahid Kapoor's Romantic Actioner Wins Opening Weekend

Mumbai, February 16 - Shahid Kapoor-led O Romeo has managed to put up a decent opening weekend performance at the domestic box office. The romantic action drama collected around 30 crore net in its first three days, emerging as the actor's biggest opener since the Covid-19 pandemic. O Romeo had a decent pre-release buzz, which led to the biggest start for a Shahid Kapoor-starrer since Kabir Singh. It showed a solid jump on the valentine's Day, but the collection dropped on Sunday due to the cricket match between India and Pakistan, resulting in 30.15 crores net opening weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As said, the film's opening weekend numbers are particularly significant (not in numbers) for Shahid Kapoor, as O Romeo now stands as Shahid's biggest opening weekend grosser in the post-pandemic era, and biggest since Kabir Singh, underlining the actor's tough run in recent times when it comes to opening. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) For context, Shahid Kapoor's earlier releases also had decent starts. 2024's romantic comedy Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya collected 27.10 crore net in its opening weekend, while Deva earned 19.15 crore net over its first three days. Against these figures, O Romeo clearly takes the lead, which was expected given the scale and talent involved. O Romeo's long-term performance will now depend on weekday trends and audience word of mouth, especially given the fact that the high cost is involved in making the film. It needs to perform really well in the coming days to reach a respectable lifetime total and emerge as a decent success at the box office. Stay tuned...

The film's box office journey began on a positive note, netting ₹ 8.5 Cr on its opening Friday.The film saw a significant surge on Day 2 (Saturday), jumping over 48% to collect ₹ 12.65 Cr, largely driven by strong occupancy in urban multiplexes and the Valentine's Day crowd. However, as per early estimates, the film witnessed a stabilization on Sunday (Day 3), earning approximately ₹ 9.00 Cr.However this slight Sunday drop may be due to the high-voltage India vs. Pakistan T20 cricket match, which traditionally draws a massive television audience in the evening hours. This brings the total India Net collection for the three-day weekend to ₹ 30.15 Cr. On the global stage, O' Romeo has crossed the ₹40 Cr mark.With an India Gross of ₹ 35.6 Cr and an additional ₹ 5 Cr coming from overseas markets, the total worldwide gross stands at ₹ 40.6 Cr.

O'Romeo Censor Report: Shahid Kapoor's Longest Film Ever Clears CBFC with A Certificate; A Look at His Bold Box Office Track Record

O'Romeo, the highly anticipated cinematic reunion of Shahid Kapoor and director Vishal Bhardwaj, is officially ready for its grand theatrical release on February 13, 2026. Following their iconic collaborations in Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon, the duo’s fourth venture has cleared the censor process with a definitive A (Adults Only) rating. According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, this certification marks a significant moment in Shahid Kapoor's career, as O'Romeo becomes his first Adults-Only release in seven years, following the record-breaking success of Kabir Singh in 2019. Despite the adult certification, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) mandated several specific dialogue changes to the film's final cut. The Examining Committee notably asked for the word Item to be replaced with Kumari across the film's narrative. Furthermore, the board ordered the muting of one specific word and the complete deletion of another deemed inappropriate. While four other words were also replaced with more suitable terms, specific details regarding those dialogues were not disclosed in the final cut list. While the film's romantic and intimate sequences passed through the board without a single modification, the action entertainer aspect of the movie faced strict scrutiny for its portrayal of raw violence. To maintain the A rating while adhering to safety guidelines, several violent visuals were shortened. A close-up of a throat-cutting scene was reduced by 20% (approximately 3 seconds), and a visual involving a woman being slapped saw a similar 20% reduction of 2 seconds. Additionally, the board ordered two-second trimmings for two separate bloodshed shots—specifically, a close-up of a head-hitting sequence and a shot of blood squirting on a woman's face—ensuring the graphic nature of the scenes was slightly toned down for the theatrical release. The final censor certificate, handed over on February 11, also revealed that O'Romeo is set to be a massive cinematic experience. The film's total runtime is clocked at 178.41 minutes, or 2 hours, 58 minutes, and 41 seconds. This makes it the longest film in the careers of both Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj. The duration was slightly influenced by the CBFC's requirement to lengthen the anti-tobacco and anti-smoking disclaimers and voice-overs, which added nearly 2 minutes of mandatory runtime. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   With O'Romeo receiving an A certificate, Shahid Kapoor continues his streak of choosing bold, gritty, and character-driven scripts that push the boundaries of mainstream cinema. Historically, Shahid's A rated films have not only garnered critical acclaim but have also been significant money-spinners at the box office. Shahid Kapoor: Box Office Performance of 'A' Rated Films MOVIE NAME INDIA NET COLLECTION STATUS Kabir Singh (2019) ₹ 278.8 Cr All-Time Blockbuster Udta Punjab (2016) ₹ 60.33 Cr Hit Kaminey (2009) ₹ 41.3 Cr Above Average O'Romeo (2026) Awaiting Release Releasing Feb 13 The industry is abuzz with whether O'Romeo can challenge the domestic records of recent A rated juggernauts. While Kabir Singh made history as the first A rated film to breach the ₹200 crore mark, the current benchmark is held by the all-time record-breaker Dhurandhar, which accumulated a staggering ₹838 crore net in India. Given the combination of Vishal Bhardwaj's masterful storytelling and Shahid's intense portrayal of a modern-day Romeo in the underworld, the stage is now set for this epic-length thriller to dominate the Valentine's Day weekend.

Shahid Kapoor's O Romeo Eyes the 3.29 Cr Deva Benchmark: Can a 130% Surge Close the Advance Booking Gap in the Final 48 Hours?

O Romeo, the highly anticipated romantic thriller featuring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, is scheduled for its grand theatrical release on February 13, 2026. Following the opening of advance bookings on the evening of February 10, the film has already gathered significant momentum, recording a gross collection of ₹1.43 Crore (including block seats) within its first 15 hours of sales. As the countdown to the Valentine's Day weekend begins, all eyes are on the box office to see if this stylish thriller can bridge the current gap and surpass the ₹3.29 Crore advance booking benchmark set by Shahid's previous actioner, Deva. With exactly two days remaining before the first show, the trade is anticipating a massive surge in ticket sales across premium multiplexes. As the countdown to the Valentine's Day weekend begins, all eyes are on the box office to see if this stylish thriller can bridge the current gap and surpass the massive ₹3.29 Crore advance booking benchmark set by Shahid's previous actioner, Deva. Releasing just one day before Valentine's Day, trade sources suggest that O Romeo is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the holiday weekend. Historical data shows that romantic thrillers often see a 40-50% spike in bookings starting the evening of February 13 and throughout February 14. With exactly two days remaining before the first show, the trade is anticipating a massive surge in ticket sales across premium multiplexes as the film looks to dominate the holiday box office. To reach the top tier of Shahid Kapoor’s recent openings, O Romeo must now navigate the critical final 48-hour window where the most significant booking volume occurs. While the film has debuted with an initial 3,449 shows, this number is expected to grow significantly as exhibitors ramp up screen allocation to meet the rising demand in major metros. Industry trends suggest that stylish thrillers often see a massive last-minute addition of screens and late-night shows once the initial buzz converts into firm bookings.If O Romeo continues to trend at its current pace, the increased show count will be the deciding factor in whether it can successfully challenge the ₹3.29 Crore benchmark set by Deva.Verified data from previous releases indicates that urban-centric films often add 20–30% more shows in the final 24 hours, putting O Romeo in a strong position to close the gap as it heads toward its release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Shahid Kapoor: Recent Advance Booking Benchmarks (Day 1 Gross) 1. Deva (2025): ₹3.29 Crore (Highest recent benchmark including block seats) 2. Jersey (2022): ₹2.20 Crore (Pure Gross record for a mid-range drama) 3. Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024): ₹2.11 Crore (Driven by massive volume with 96,571 tickets sold) 4. O Romeo (2026): ₹1.43 Crore [Current Status] (Needs to more than double its current total to topple Deva) At the helm of O Romeo is the visionary director Vishal Bhardwaj, whose reunion with Shahid Kapoor has sent industry expectations soaring. Following their iconic collaborations in Kaminey and Haider, this project marks a return to the gritty, atmospheric storytelling that has become the director-actor duo's signature. Inspired by the gritty true stories in S. Hussain Zaidi's Mafia Queens of Mumbai, O Romeo is a contemporary romantic thriller set against the volatile backdrop of the 90s underworld. The narrative follows the high-stakes alliance between a feared contract killer, Hussain Ustara (Shahid Kapoor), and a woman driven by vengeance for her husband's murder, Afsha (Triptii Dimri). Caught in a dangerous crossfire of family rivalries and internal mafia power struggles, the film delivers director Vishal Bhardwaj's signature cinematic style—seamlessly blending raw, realistic action with a deeply soulful and poetic narrative. With Triptii Dimri playing an equally intense lead, the film is expected to be a major cinematic spectacle that balances commercial appeal with deep, content-driven drama. For O Romeo to be declared a Day 1 winner, it needs a 130% jump in its with blocks total by Thursday night. With Valentine's Day sentiments fueling the urban markets , the industry expects a late-hour explosion in bookings. If the film crosses the 2.50 Crore mark by Thursday 9:00 PM, it will be in a prime position to challenge Deva's all-time high record on Friday morning.
