The action romance, which Bhardwaj says he is “proud of for its violence and love story”, has so far minted just Rs 47.93 crore at the Indian box office. The film was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 125-150 crore. Now, it has earned praise from Hrithik Roshan, who said that the film has “won him over”.

“The quirkiness of O’Romeo eventually wins you over. I had fun. Shahid Kapoor, you do this genre BEST. Too good you are. Go watch it in the theatres, guys. Also, that running in circles action was brilliant,” wrote the 52-year-old actor on X (formerly Twitter).
