What the critics say

Critics mostly praise Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj's visual and musical command in this underworld romance, but many call the love story thin, the pacing bloated past three hours, and the Spain-set climax unconvincing.

Summary

O'Romeo (2026, Hindi) has a Filmi Score of 56 from 15 critic reviews, is rated 18+ by Filmi (CBFC: A), and streams on Prime Video in the US.

What fate awaits a stonehearted gangster and bloodthirsty womaniser when true love claims him, helpless and unguarded? A gang war that shakes the entire underworld and crime syndicate to their very roots. A forbidden love; the tale of an unrequited passion.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 15 readings; 8 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
