O ROMEO TRAILER is here O Romeo trailer doesn't knock, it kicks the door down. Shahid Kapoor is ferocious, moving through chaos with a madness,the action is brutal, the scale feels grand, the drama cuts deep and every frame screams Vishal Bhardwaj's dark, intoxicating brilliance. Sajid Nadiadwala backs it with a canvas that's bold, unapologetic, and larger than life. This isn't just a love story. This is obsession, violence, passion, and destiny colliding in slow-motion fire. Stylish. Savage. Spellbinding. If the trailer is this explosive, the film is going to be pure cinematic carnage. Romeo has arrived... and he's dangerous.... This Valentines there will be carnage....... #SajidNadiadwala #ORomeo #ORomeoTrailer #ShahidKapoor #TriptiiDimri #NanaPatekar #VishalBhardawaj

O ROMEO TRAILER IS A SMASHER! Director Vishal Bhardwaj goes all out with brutal action, hard-hitting desi dialogue-baazi, and his trademark thrill -the impact is TOP-CLASS. #ShahidKapoor is in absolute beast mode. Tripti Dimri, Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, and the entire cast bring solid gravitas to the film. This is one POWER-PACKED trailer. Produced by #SajidNadiadwala In cinemas this Valentine's Day weekend – 13 February 2026.

#ORomeoTrailer – Disappointing The trailer feels dull and confusing with no clear storyline. #ShahidKapoor looks stuck in a routine zone, nothing fresh in his performance. #TriptiDimri's role appears weak and the chemistry doesn't work. Dialogues are average, BGM lacks impact, and visuals feel flat. Overall, the trailer fails to create any excitement or interest in the film. Underwhelming trailer. Expectations are low.
