O'Romeo's Box Office Woes: Experts Decode Flaws
26 Feb
Summary
- Film struggles to cross Rs. 60 crores domestically.
- Experts cite a mixed second half and lack of hit songs.
- Shahid Kapoor's performance praised amidst disappointing box office.
O'Romeo, a film anticipated to perform well, is currently facing significant box office challenges, failing to reach the Rs. 60 crores domestic mark. Trade experts suggest that while the first half retained Vishal Bhardwaj's distinct style, the second half adopted a more commercial approach, leaving audiences unsatisfied.
Analysts note that the film could have benefited from a more concise edit, particularly by reducing extraneous sequences such as the Spain track. The inconsistent grip on the narrative from beginning to end was identified as a key weakness.
Despite strong performances from Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, and Nana Patekar being in his element, the film's music and overall execution did not resonate. The absence of a chart-topping song, a feature often associated with Bhardwaj's films, was also highlighted as a missed opportunity.
Further contributing to its underperformance, early 'Buy One Get One Free' offers indicated underlying issues. Experts believe that a film of this caliber, with Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj, was expected to deliver a much stronger box office result.
