Story and style win hearts
The film blends obsession, heartbreak, and underworld drama, inspired by Hussain Zaidi’s Mafia Queens of Mumbai. One review highlighted, “The first half sets a solid foundation… The second half accelerates into high gear, featuring thrilling action sequences, intense confrontations, and emotional breakdowns.”
Shahid’s wife, Mira Rajput, shared on Instagram, “Team O’Romeo, you all created a world and whirl. Vishal Bhardwaj, you are a genius of finesse… That BGM (firework emoji).” Fans agreed, calling the background music and climax “emotionally charged and action-filled.”
Star power and buzz
Supporting cast like Nana Patekar and Avinash Tiwary added depth. One user said, “The ensemble cast added to the film’s impact.” Shahid praised Triptii earlier, “She is a very good actress, and her character is quite strong… She has put her whole heart into it.”
Vishal Bhardwaj called it “a love story with a violent background… an unrequited love story.” With positive early reactions, O’Romeo is trending as a must-watch.
