Mumbai, India — February 21, 2026

Theatrical releases this week feature a mix of genres — from socially driven courtroom drama to romantic love stories and survival thrillers. However, Friday’s box office numbers indicate a modest start for the newest films, while holdover releases continue their steady run.

Here’s a detailed look at how the films performed.

🎭 Assi

Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Assi received strong critical praise for its socially relevant courtroom narrative.

Despite positive reviews, the film managed to collect only ₹1 crore on its opening day. Industry observers note that content-driven films often face challenges translating critical acclaim into immediate box office returns.

The weekend performance will be crucial in determining whether positive word-of-mouth boosts collections.

❤️ Do Deewane Sehar Mein

Starring Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi, Do Deewane Sehar Mein had a slightly better opening.

According to trade estimates, the romantic drama earned ₹1.25 crore on Day 1. While it outperformed Assi, its opening remains below expectations for a mainstream love story. Reviews have been mixed, and its weekend growth will be closely watched.

🔥 O Romeo

Shahid Kapoor’s action-romantic drama O Romeo continues its theatrical run at a steady pace.

On its second Friday (Day 8), the film collected ₹2.25 crore, pushing its total box office earnings to ₹49.35 crore. While it is inching toward the ₹50 crore mark, the growth trajectory has been gradual rather than explosive.

🎬 Tu Ya Main

Featuring Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav, the survival thriller Tu Ya Main continues to struggle.

On Day 8, the film earned just ₹20 lakh, taking its total eight-day collection to ₹4.65 crore. The film has faced stiff competition and limited audience traction since release.
