With O' Romeo, Can Shahid Kapoor-Vishal Bhardwaj Combo Deliver The Biggest Valentine's Day Opener?

Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri will headline one of this year's most anticipated Valentine's Day releases. The movie, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, will hit the big screens on February 13, coinciding with the Valentine's Day weekend. The movie will release alongside Tu Yaa Main, but is poised to take a decent start. 

O'Romeo is based on real-life incidents, which is likely to aid its business. Additionally, the film will reunite the actor and director after their movies Haider, Rangoon and Kaminey. To top this, the lead actors are also taking part in inter-city promotions in various events. The cast is also driving excessive promotions of the movie on social media, adding to the pre-release buzz. The advance booking of the movie began on Monday, and the movie has already grossed ₹1.57 Cr in pre-sales collection. On BookMyShow, over 115k cinegoers have shown interest in the Shahid Kapoor-Triptii Dimri starrer.

While most of the movies in the last 10 years did not release on exact Valentine's Day, the aforementioned list includes the opening day collection of the biggest movies released closest to the unofficial holiday. Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava holds the record for the highest Valentine's Day opener. It is unlikely that O'Romeo can cross the collections of Chaava on day 1. It is expected to get an opening of over ₹6 crore.
