O'Romeo review

As per WION's Pragati Awasthi, "The narrative of this action-packed film is simple and linear. It pleases the audience with its entertainment value and strong performances. Shahid is at his best in the raw action-hero avatar, and it is clear how much he has enjoyed playing this role. Tripti’s performance reminds you of her Qala and Bulbbul days. With that intensity in her wide eyes and raw expressions, she wins every frame. Avinash Tiwary and Nana Patekar also gained attention with their performances."

"Apart from the A-listers, Rahul Deshpande as Inspector Pathare stands out and delivers one of the finest performances in the film. Vishal Bharadwaj’s film is a purely commercial entertainer that wins because of its performances and background score, especially when “Hum To Tere Hi Liye” is being played again and again."
