Mumbai, India — February 19, 2026
The mid-February box office race is showing clear winners and laggards. While “O Romeo” continues to draw audiences with steady weekday earnings, “Tu Ya Main” is struggling to gain momentum. Meanwhile, holdover titles “Mardaani 3” and “Border 2” are slowing but still adding to their totals.
‘O Romeo’ Maintains Stable Run
Starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, O Romeo collected ₹3.5 crore on its sixth day (Wednesday), pushing its total domestic earnings to ₹43.85 crore.
The film opened strongly over its first weekend and has maintained consistent weekday traction. The story centers on Hussain Ustra, portrayed by Kapoor, whose character arc has resonated with audiences.
‘Tu Ya Main’ Faces Audience Shortfall
Romantic thriller Tu Ya Main, starring Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav, earned just ₹27 lakh on Day 6. Its cumulative collection now stands at ₹3.97 crore.
The film is an official remake of the Thai survival thriller The Pool, but it has yet to find strong traction at the ticket window.
‘Mardaani 3’ Slows After Three Weeks
Crime drama Mardaani 3, led by Rani Mukerji, collected ₹50 lakh on Day 21, taking its total to ₹45.9 crore.
The film focuses on child trafficking and organized begging rackets, with Mukerji reprising her role as a determined police officer tackling criminal networks.
‘Border 2’ Still Strong Despite Decline
War drama Border 2 earned ₹55 lakh on Day 27. Its overall total has reached ₹323.80 crore, making it one of the highest-grossing films currently in theaters.
The film features Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh, and is based on events surrounding the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
