Advance bookings for Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri’s O’Romeo have officially opened today, kicking off the countdown to the film’s theatrical release on February 13, 2026.
Backed by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the action romance drama has been on the radar for its unusual blend of grit and emotion, and the first wave of ticket sales is now giving the industry its earliest read on audience interest.
O’Romeo Advance Bookings Begin With Strong Early Interest
With tickets now live across major platforms, the initial response indicates strong curiosity around O’Romeo, particularly in metro circuits where Vishal Bhardwaj’s brand of storytelling and Shahid Kapoor’s screen presence tend to pull crowds early. While it is still too soon to quantify the opening weekend outlook from day one advances alone, the momentum is notable for a film arriving ahead of the Valentine’s Day weekend, a period that often favours romantic dramas with scale and star power.
Industry tracking will closely watch how the film builds through the week, especially as walk-ins and late surges typically define February releases. For now, early trends point to healthy traction, helped by the film’s high-profile creative combination and a cast list that widens appeal across demographics.
Vishal Bhardwaj, Sajid Nadiadwala And A Packed Ensemble
O’Romeo brings together a heavy ensemble that includes Avinash Tiwary, Nana Patekar, Farida Jalal, Disha Patani, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Vikrant Massey in a special appearance. The mix suggests a story with multiple emotional and narrative threads, aligning with Bhardwaj’s reputation for layered character work.
The film has also stayed in conversation due to its background developments, including the fact that it recently won a legal case. Additionally, the makers have positioned the story as being inspired by true events, adding an extra edge of intrigue for audiences looking for romance with real-world stakes.
Shahid Kapoor’s Thank You Note To Vishal Bhardwaj Adds To The Buzz
Fueling interest further is Shahid Kapoor’s recent gratitude post for Vishal Bhardwaj, where the actor underlined how personally significant the role is to him. Sharing an Instagram reel, Shahid wrote, “Gratitude. For a character that will remain etched in my filmography. For a film that will be remembered. Working with you again feels like coming home.”
The message has resonated with fans who have followed Shahid’s collaborations with Bhardwaj, and it adds a timely emotional hook right as O’Romeo enters its most crucial pre-release phase.
