New Delhi, Feb 14 (.) Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj’s latest collaboration ‘ORomeo’ began its box office journey on a slow note, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
The film collected Rs 9.01 crore on its opening day. Adarsh expressed hope that collections could improve on Saturday due to Valentine’s Day, though he cautioned that the India-Pakistan match on Sunday may impact business.
”ORomeo opened on a slow note, though collections multiplied as the day progressed – particularly during the evening and night shows… Urban centres have performed comparatively better. The film must witness solid growth on Saturday and Sunday to show better weekend results. Valentine’s Day is expected to boost Saturday footfalls, but the high-voltage INDvsPAK cricket match on Sunday evening could dent collections. ‘ORomeo’ Week 1 Fri Rs 9.01 cr,” Adarsh posted on X.
‘ORomeo’ marks the fourth collaboration between Shahid and Vishal Bhardwaj after Kaminey, Haider and Rangoon.
Earlier in the day, Shahid shared several stills from the film and extended Valentine’s Day wishes.
“Here’s to love in all its forms. Happy Valentine’s Day. The world of ‘OROMEO’ is in theatres. See you in the cinemas,” he wrote on Instagram.
The film also stars Triptii Dimri, Avinash Tiwary, Vikrant Massey, Farida Jalal, Nana Patekar and Tamannaah Bhatia in key roles.
