Performance Analysis
The Valentine's Jump: The film saw a growth of over 45% on Saturday, proving that the genre appealed to couples on Valentine's Day.
The Cricket Blow: Sunday collections usually grow, but 'O Romeo' saw a drop because the target audience (youth) was largely distracted by the T20 World Cup clash.
Record: Despite the Sunday dip, this stands as Shahid Kapoor’s biggest opening weekend post-pandemic, beating his previous releases like Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (₹27.1 Cr) and Deva (₹19.15 Cr).
SantaBanta Verdict:
With a budget of approx. ₹75-80 Crore, the film has covered decent ground but isn't in the safe zone yet. The real test begins today (Monday, Feb 16). If it can hold steady around the ₹4-5 Crore mark, it has a shot at being a hit; otherwise, it might struggle to recover costs.
