Just a day before Valentine’s Day, Shahid Kapoor’s much awaited intense romantic drama ‘O’Romeo’ has been released in theaters today. This film directed by Vishal Bhardwaj has already created a lot of buzz and it is considered a contender to become a dark horse at the box office in 2026. In such a situation, will it be able to become the biggest opener of this year so far? Will it be able to break the record of Border 2? Let us know the prediction here.
How much is the advance booking of ‘O’Romeo’?
According to the report of trade website Sacanilc, the first day advance booking of O’Romeo without block seats has been Rs 3.5 crore. Whereas with block seats it has collected Rs 5.9 crore in pre-ticket sale. Although it is not very much but still these are doing decent pre-sale. It is believed that it can earn well in metropolitan areas where such genres perform well.
How much can ‘O’Romeo’ collect on the first day?
- Box office estimates suggest that O’Romeo may earn Rs 6-8 crore nett on its first day, which is a better opening than Shahid Kapoor’s previous theatrical release Deva.
- Deva opened with a nett of Rs 5.50 crore in India.
- According to the report of Filmi Beat, film business expert Rohit Jaiswal predicts that O’Romeo can earn Rs 7-9 crore on its opening day.
- If the box office predictions turn out to be correct, then O’Romeo will be the biggest opener for Shahid Kapoor after Covid-19.
- In fact, it will become Trupti Dimri’s third biggest opener after Animal and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
Will ‘O’Romeo’ be able to beat Border 2?
The opening of ‘O’Romeo’ is expected to be in single digits. In such a situation, this film will not be able to touch the opening day collection of Sunny Deol’s first blockbuster of the year, Border 2. Let us tell you that Border 2 started in India with a collection of Rs 30 crore on the first day. The second biggest opener of the year so far is Agastya Nanda’s Akshi, which had earned Rs 7.28 crore on the first day. In such a situation, O Romeo can become the third biggest opener of the year. It is not a big start, but if the word of mouth is positive, the film can earn good money by the weekend.
