Shahid Kapoor's O Romeo Advance Booking Update

Mumbai, February 9 - Shahid Kapoor is gearing up for one of the most intense releases of his career with O Romeo, a gritty action-thriller directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on February 13, 2026, perfectly timed for the Valentine's Day weekend, and expectations are running high among fans and trade alike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has been carrying good pre-release momentum, driven by Shahid Kapoor's striking transformation and the reunion with Bhardwaj after critically acclaimed collaborations such as Kaminey and Haider. With limited major releases competing during the period, O Romeo is expected to benefit from premium screens and strong showcasing across multiplexes in key metros. Adding to the excitement, the booking of the film is expected to commence on February 10, on Tuesday, just three days ahead of the release. Originally developed under the working title Arjun Ustara, the project reportedly took several years to materialise due to creative and logistical delays. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) O Romeo is one of Shahid Kapoor's most hyped movies in recent times, and it should be taking a good opening, especially given less competition during the Valentine's Day weekend. The film also features Triptii Dimri as the female lead, alongside an ensemble cast including Nana Patekar, Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Avinash Tiwary. With advance booking opening on February 10, all eyes will be on initial ticket sales to gauge whether O Romeo can convert its strong buzz into a solid opening weekend and emerge as Shahid Kapoor's next significant theatrical success.

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh Starrer Collects 40 Lakh In 10th Weekend

Mumbai, February 9 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar is having a theatrical run beyond historic. The spy action thriller has already completed two months at the box office and is available to stream online. Still the movie is bringing crowd to theatres in its 10th weekend, which is insane. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar collected approximately 35-40 lakh net in its 10th weekend, which is among the biggest ever for an Indian film. In the post-pandemic scenario, where films are made available on OTT after a specific time, and Dhurandhar performed like a front-loaded blockbuster, the 10th weekend numbers are extraordinary. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar is easily the biggest Indian blockbuster in the post-pandemic era. After the 10th weekend (66 days), it has minted 838 crores net (1005+ crores gross) at the domestic box office, while the worldwide cume total is around 1305 crores gross. Domestically, it has sold nearly 3.70 crores tickets, which is the highest for a Bollywood title in Hindi since the Covid. Dhurandhar has already achieved more than what the makers imagined. The film's performance has been no less than a dream, and it will only take the hype for Dhurandhar: The Revenge, a notch higher. The second part of the mega blockbuster is scheduled to release on March 19 in multiple languages. Stay tuned...

Sandeep Reddy Vanga Planned Kabir Singh x Animal Crossover, But Then This Happened

Mumbai, February 9 - Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga had once toyed with the idea of creating a cinematic crossover between Kabir Singh and Animal, two of his most polarising and successful films. The director was intrigued by the possibility of placing Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh in the same dark, volatile universe as Ranbir Kapoor's Ranvijay Singh in Animal. In one of the earlier interviews, Sandeep Reddy Vanga confirmed that he was indeed planning Shahid Kapoor's cameo as Kabir Singh in Animal. The filmmaker had said that during the Delhi shoot of Animal, he got the idea to let's get Kabir Singh as one of the chief doctors, who will make the decision, being a very aggressive doctor. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sandeep said that his team liked his idea of bringing Kabir into the world of Ranvijay Singh, but he dropped the idea after a couple of days, as he felt that he didn't want to go into cameo desperacy. During the recent interview while promoting O Romeo, Shahid Kapoor also confirmed, but he couldn't do the cameo due to date and other logistical issues. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Kabir Singh (2019) is the remake of Vanga's Telugu movie Arjun Reddy. The Hindi remake was a massive hit with nearly 400 crores worldwide. The film got criticism for the portrayal of the characters, but it was loved by audiences. The same happened with Animal (2023), which went on to become one of the biggest Indian blockbusters with nearly 1000 crores worldwide. It would have exciting to see two characters crossing paths with each other, but it didn't happen. Now, there are rumours that Ranbir Kapoor's Ranvijay Singh might make a cameo appearance in Vanga's upcoming film, Spirit, starring superstar Prabhas. It will be a blast if the rumours are true.

Border 2 Box Office: Sunny Deol's War Drama Tops 300 Crore Net

Mumbai, February 7 - Sunny Deol's war drama Border 2 started the third weekend on a decent note and is set to cross 300 crores net mark at the domestic box office on its third Saturday. The Anurag Singh-directed film is already the highest-grossing Indian title of the year. On its third Friday, Border 2 minted approximately 5.25 crores net, pushing total domestic net collection to 302 crores in 16 days. The blockbuster sequel became only the second movie of Sunny Deol after Gadar 2 and the first for Varun Dhawan to surpass 300 crores net mark domestically. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Border 2 opened to superb numbers before exploding over the Republic Day weekend and holding strong on Tuesday. However, a bigger-than-expected drop on weekdays and during the second weekend, even though the overall numbers remain decent, has slowed down the trajectory, which has ruled out its chances of crossing 500 crore or even 400 crore net lifetime run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The third weekend of Border 2 is expected to be around 15 crores, with the lifetime domestic net now heading towards finishing somewhere between 325-350 crores. Worldwide, the movie has minted around 407 crores in 15 days, heading to finish in the range of 450 crores gross. As said, irrespective of where Border 2 finishes from now on, it is already a box office success, continuing to showcase Sunny Deol's immense pull among the masses when it comes to patriotic cinema. Earlier in 2023, the veteran actor created a sensation with Gadar 2, which went on to become one of the biggest Hindi grossers of all time. Stay tuned...
