Shahid Kapoor is back to rule the Valentine’s Day box office, and it seems the audience is ready to embrace his dark, poetic avatar! O Romeo, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, has hit the theaters amidst decent buzz, and the film has started its box office journey on a decent note, better than Shahid’s last Valentine’s Day arrival!
In 2024, Shahid Kapoor arrived with Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, and the film opened at 7.02 crore at the box office. His latest Valentine’s Day offering has opened better than the 2024 rom-com also starring Kriti Sanon in the lead!
