O'Romeo is also touted to be director Vishal Bhardwaj's most successful film so far. Sharing his thoughts, Vishal Bhardwaj said, “To evoke a reaction from the audience, one has to reinvent oneself with every story. Creation begins where comfort ends. O’Romeo was born in that space. I believe O’Romeo is going to be my most successful film at the box office.”

O Romeo is an emotionally charged story of love, loss and consequence. According to the makers, the film revolves around “the irreversible consequences of love denied.” The film draws inspiration from a chapter in Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai, and is said to be on the life of gangster Hussain Ustara, played by Shahid Kapoor.

O’Romeo ratings disabled

O’Romeo’s ratings and reviews on BookMyShow have reportedly been removed. The makers reportedly moved court to disable the section. This development has left netizens perplexed, as it has happened for the first time with a Hindi film.The O’Romeo page on BookMyShow no longer shows the audience rating score or any reviews. Below the title and trailer, one can still see how many people are interested in the film (over 100K at the time of writing). Below that, it reads, “Reviews and ratings disabled as per court order.” This marks the first time a Hindi film has moved court to get audience reviews and ratings removed from an online platform. The move comes amid increasing cases of review bombing.
