How are netizens reacting to O’Romeo?

O’Romeo is among the big releases of the year. Featuring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri in the lead with a star-studded ensemble, O’Romeo took the lead in advance bookings over Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav’s Tu Yaa Main. Both the movies clashed at the box office on February 13.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), netizens are sharing their quick reviews on O’Romeo, and most of them are positive as fans admire Shahid Kapoor’s acting craft. However, some were left unimpressed with Vishal Bhardwaj’s film.

A netizen shared, “One expects gritty realism, quirky humour, taut screenplay and exquisite detailing from a #VishalBhardwaj movie... and O ROMEO' delivers on all these fronts.”

Another fan appreciated Vishal Bhardwaj’s work with a tight screenplay that leaves an indelible mark on the viewers. “Director Vishal Bhardwaj creates an immersive world with strong writing, striking visuals, and a gripping narrative. The first half is tight and engaging; the second half slows briefly but finishes strong,” wrote another.

A netizen criticised the movie as something stuck between a masala entertainer and a poetic film and wrote, “The problem with Vishal Bhardwaj  is he is  confused weather he wants to make a mass masala entertainer or poetic art film which we have seen in his every Film and that's what O' Romeo is.”

O’Romeo is dubbed as a gripping film that holds your attention throughout the watch, a fan wrote, “You know a film is REALLY, REALLY GOOD when 2.5 hours just fly by and you don’t even realise. O Romeo is exactly that kind of film - GRIPPING from start to end with SUPERB performances by Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri & Avinash Tiwary.”

Shahid Kapoor has teamed u with Vishal Bhardwaj for the fourth time and fans are awe-struck by their magic. A fan shared, ““They’ve done it AGAIN.

Kaminey. Haider. And now O Romeo.

Shahid Kapoor & Vishal Bhardwaj simply DON’T MISS.””
