शाहिद के लिए वैलेंटाइन्स का तोहफा बनी ‘ओ रोमियो’, मिली पिछले 6 सालों की बेस्ट ओपनिंग – o romeo collection day 1 shahid kapoor best opening post pandemic ntcpsm
Shahid Kapoor and Trupti Dimri’s ‘O Romeo’ has reached theaters on Friday as a Valentine’s Week release. The atmosphere of the film was solid through the trailer and songs. But the buzz of the film seemed to fade a bit in advance booking. Shahid Kapoor’s box office impact has weakened a bit since the lockdown.
‘O Romeo’ director Vishal Bhardwaj can be appreciated for his cinematic skills, but he has never been popular as a box office winner. Hence the question arose whether ‘O Romeo’ would be able to make a strong start on the first day? And the film has responded with a solid opening collection.
Opening collection of ‘O Romeo’
The reviews of ‘O Romeo’, which entered the box office arena with very average advance booking, were a bit mixed. But everyone praised the cast’s performance, music and action. The effect of these praises started becoming visible in the afternoon shows. Word of mouth of the film started becoming positive on social media and ‘O Romeo’ gained momentum.
At one time the opening collection of this film was estimated to be in the range of 5-6 crores. But trade reports suggest that the opening collection of ‘O Romeo’ on Friday has been in the range of 8-9 crores.
Shahid’s best opening in the last 6 years
The biggest hit of Shahid’s career was ‘Kabir Singh’ in 2019. All the big box office records of Shahid are in his name. But after the lockdown, Shahid was not able to do any great feat at the box office.
His biggest opening in the last 6 years has been Rs 7 crore, which came from ‘Teri Baton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’. But now ‘O Romeo’ has become Shahid’s biggest opening film. This is also the top opening in the career of director Vishal Bhardwaj.
‘O Romeo’ is a love story, this factor will keep it the first choice of the public on Valentine’s Day. The pace that the film gained on Friday afternoon, if it continues on Saturday-Sunday, then ‘O Romeo’ will bring a solid weekend collection. ‘Tu Ya Main’, released along with this, has not received a very positive response from the public and the upcoming films are also not looking very explosive. Therefore, if ‘O Romeo’ survives the first weekend and is successful in winning the hearts of the public, then Shahid can get a big hit in his account.
