Mumbai’s cinema halls are buzzing with excitement as Shahid Kapoor and Tripti Dimri’s latest flick ‘O Romeo’ hits the screens, blending high-octane action with sizzling romance. Directed by the acclaimed Vishal Bhardwaj, known for gritty hits like Maqbool and Omkara, the film has already sparked lively debates among early viewers.
Audiences emerging from the first shows are raving about the electric chemistry between Shahid and Tripti. ‘Their on-screen pairing is pure magic,’ said one thrilled spectator. ‘Shahid’s rugged Romeo persona, mixed with Tripti’s charm, elevates every scene. The action sequences are explosive, keeping the adrenaline pumping non-stop.’
The film’s direction and cinematography stand out, with sweeping visuals that capture the raw energy of its lovers-on-the-run narrative. Even cameo appearances by veterans like Nana Patekar and Farida Jalal pack a punch, despite limited screen time. Shakti Kapoor and Disha Patani add flair to this multi-starrer ensemble.
Not everyone is on board, though. One viewer expressed disappointment, calling it ‘style over substance.’ ‘The plot feels thin, and the action sometimes mimics recent blockbusters like Animal,’ they noted. ‘I went in hyped by Bhardwaj’s name but left underwhelmed.’
Still, the consensus leans positive. Female fans particularly praise Shahid’s versatile turn from lover to fighter. ‘It’s a must-watch for the star power and that unbeatable duo,’ one said. As word-of-mouth spreads, ‘O Romeo’ looks set to captivate Bollywood enthusiasts this weekend.
