Mumbai, India — February 17, 2026

The Indian box office is witnessing a mixed trend this week, with multiple genres competing for audience attention. Among them, O Romeo, starring Shahid Kapoor, continues to lead ticket sales despite a noticeable weekday dip, while several competing releases are struggling to maintain momentum.

O Romeo Holds Lead Despite Monday Drop

The action-romance opened strong with ₹8.5 crore on day one, followed by ₹12.65 crore on Saturday. Sunday saw collections decline to ₹9 crore, and Monday earnings slipped further to ₹4.75 crore.

After four days in theaters, O Romeo has earned ₹34.90 crore total, maintaining its position as the week’s top performer despite the weekday slowdown.

Tu Ya Main Continues Weak Run

The survival thriller Tu Ya Main, starring Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav, has struggled since release.

• Day 1: ₹60 lakh

• Saturday: ₹1.45 crore

• Sunday: ₹80 lakh

• Monday: ₹43 lakh

Its four-day total stands at ₹3.28 crore, reflecting limited audience traction.

Mardaani 3 Enters Third Week With Slower Numbers

Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji, has now entered its third week. On day 18 (Monday), the film collected ₹50 lakh, pushing its total to ₹44.75 crore.

Earlier performance:

• Week 1: ₹26.30 crore

• Week 2: ₹14.60 crore

While weekday earnings have dropped, the film continues to add steady revenue.

Vadh 2 Fails to Convert Critical Praise Into Revenue

The suspense thriller Vadh 2, featuring Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta, has not translated positive reviews into ticket sales.

On its 11th day, Monday collections were just ₹2 lakh, bringing its total to ₹3.69 crore.

Market Analysis

Industry analysts note that weekday declines are typical after weekend spikes, but O Romeo’s lead indicates stronger audience pull compared with competing titles. Meanwhile, smaller releases face challenges sustaining theatrical momentum amid crowded lineups and selective viewer turnout.
