Also, he stated that Triptii gave the narrative emotional depth and that the case, as a whole, broadened the film’s appeal. Although he rated O’Romeo four stars, Kuldeep Gadhvi described the Shahid-starring movie as a “baap level film, a complete mass + class cinematic experience.”

About O Romeo

Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai served as the inspiration for O’Romeo. It’s interesting to note that, following Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon, this is Vishal Bhardwaj’s fourth collaboration with Shahid. In fact, fans are obviously excited about the director and actor’s reunion after nine years apart.

Furthermore, O’Romeo is Shahid and Triptii’s first collaboration, and fans are excited to see their newfound chemistry. We have the censor board review of O’Romeo, which is currently making headlines.
