Hrithik Roshan Praises O Romeo: Valentine’s Day delivered romance, action, and unexpected online drama for Bollywood fans. Shahid Kapoor returned to theatres with O Romeo, a romantic action thriller. The film also stars Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, and Avinash Tiwary. Notably, the project reunited Shahid with Vishal Bhardwaj, who previously directed him in Kaminey (2009) and Haider (2014).
Expectations were strong. However, O Romeo received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Some viewers appreciated its style and performances. Others felt the film did not fully meet the hype. Still, the biggest talking point soon became Hrithik Roshan’s reaction to the film.
Recently, Hrithik took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise Shahid Kapoor’s performance. His post spread quickly across social media. But instead of only applause, it triggered a wave of heated reactions.
Dhurandhar And Ranveer Singh Fans Troll Hrithik Roshan For Praising O Romeo
Sharing his thoughts, Hrithik wrote, “The quirkiness of #ORomeo eventually wins you over. I had fun. @shahidkapoor, you do this genre BEST. Too good you are. Go watch it in the theatres, guys. Also, that running in circles action was brilliant.”
The tweet immediately sparked conversation. Many fans welcomed the appreciation. They described it as a warm gesture from one major star to another.
Shahid Kapoor soon replied with gratitude. He wrote, “Brother saw you debut like a boss when I was still in college, and you hit me like lightning. Been loving you since your first. This feels special. Big love, so happy you enjoyed the film.”
Hrithik’s praise did not sit well with everyone. Fans of Dhurandhar and Ranveer Singh strongly reacted. Several users accused Hrithik of being inconsistent, referring to his earlier comments on Dhurandhar.
One user commented, “So you liked this pathetic movie but hated the dhurandhar”
Another wrote, “I hope you are not praising this just because of paid promotion… especially since you hated Dharundhar, which was actually a masterclass.”
A third added, “Hope the politics in the movie was to your taste.”

“And that’s how he will arrange funds for Krrish 4.”
“You were not okay with ‘politics’ of Dhurandar. Are you okay with glorification of gangsters in this movie?”
“lol..stop patting each others back for weak films..push each other to do better..check the box office…”
Some users on Reddit jokingly pulled Kareena Kapoor into the conversation. They pointed out that both Hrithik and Shahid were once linked to her. They noted that both are hex exes and have done films with Saif Ali Khan.
What Hrithik Said About Dhurandhar
The backlash came due to Hrithik’s December 2025 tweet about Dhurandhar. At the time, Hrithik praised the film’s scale and performances by Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna. However, he added that he “disagreed with the politics of it.”
That comment triggered weeks of debate online. Many questioned Hrithik’s stance and compared it to his roles in films like Fighter and War.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Hrithik Roshan was last seen in War 2 alongside Jr NTR and Kiara Advani. Despite high expectations, the film underperformed at the box office.
As of now, Hrithik has not officially announced his next project. Nevertheless, his social media posts continue to grab headlines.
