O Romeo Movie 2026 Reviews
Inspired by the true story of Hussain Ustara from Hussain Zaidi’s book, the film is a “Western-style” action drama set in Mumbai.
The Character: Shahid Kapoor plays Haseen Ustara, a dreaded, heavily tattooed, and emotionally volatile gangster.
The Conflict: The story follows Ustara as he falls for Afsha (Triptii Dimri), a woman who initially seeks his help as a “damsel in distress,” only for the tables to turn in a violent web of obsession, rage, and betrayal.
The Antagonist: Avinash Tiwary reportedly plays the primary villain, a flamboyant character who clashes with Ustara in a battle for power and love.
Key Highlights
First Look Controversy: The film recently faced a legal hurdle when the daughter of the real-life Hussain Ustara filed a notice regarding his portrayal, but the court cleared the film for release.
The Music: The soundtrack is already a hit, featuring the soulful “Hum To Tere Hi Liye The” (Arijit Singh) and the high-energy “Aashiqon Ki Colony” featuring Shahid’s Michael Jackson-inspired dance moves.
The Ensemble: This film features a massive cast, including Nana Patekar as a mentor figure and Farida Jalal in a surprisingly gritty role (rumored to be using strong language for the first time on screen).
Cinematography: Shot by Ben Bernhard, the film captures a unique visual palette, blending the grime of Mumbai streets with stylized, poetic violence.
