The opening weekend is often the first real test of a film’s box office potential. By Sunday evening, trends become clearer — audience word-of-mouth begins reflecting in numbers, and the trajectory of a film starts to emerge.

On February 15, the spotlight remained firmly on O Romeo and Tu Yaa Main, both competing for audience attention. Meanwhile, holdover releases Mardaani 3 and Border 2 continued their theatrical runs.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Day 3 performance and overall weekend trends.

🎬 O Romeo Box Office Collection – Day 3

Starring Shahid Kapoor, O Romeo opened on a solid note and maintained strong momentum through Saturday.

📊 Day-wise Breakdown:

• Friday: ₹8.5 crore
• Saturday: ₹12.65 crore (48.82% jump)
• Sunday (early estimates): ₹5.23 crore

💰 Opening Weekend Total (Early Estimate):

₹26.38 crore

Despite a noticeable dip on Sunday compared to Saturday, the film secured a respectable weekend total. The Saturday surge indicates strong initial audience interest, though Sunday’s numbers suggest mixed word-of-mouth or regional saturation.

(Final confirmed figures expected by 11 AM, February 16.)

🎬 Tu Yaa Main Box Office Collection – Day 3

Tu Yaa Main witnessed a comparatively slow start and struggled to gain significant traction over the weekend.

📊 Day-wise Breakdown:

• Friday: ₹0.6 crore
• Saturday: ₹1.45 crore
• Sunday (early estimates): ₹0.4 crore

💰 Opening Weekend Total (Early Estimate):

₹2.45 crore

While Saturday saw some growth, the Sunday decline reflects limited audience pull. The gap between O Romeo and Tu Yaa Main remains substantial after three days.
