O'Romeo Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, O'ROMEO delivers several well-made moments and strong performances from the lead cast. However, the uneven writing and the ordinary soundtrack prevent it from creating the kind of impact it aims for. At the box office, it is likely to take an average opening, and it will need a solid jump from tomorrow to stay in the race and recover its high costsRead at source

The events of the film take place in Bombay, 1995, and revolve around Ustara, a feared gangster and hitman who kills his targets using a barber's razor. Ismail Khan, an Intelligence Officer had saved Ustara from Jalal, a gangster established in Spain after Ustara killed Jalal's brother a long time ago, has been using Ustara as a covert operative for himself since. Ismail gives Ustara the contract of killing Jayesh Duggal, Jalal's Financer. Ustara finds Duggal in a theatre and takes down a swarm of bald bodyguards. Just as Duggal is about to escape, Ismail enters and kills him. Fed up of working for Ismail, Ustara plans on escaping to Fiji. Ustara then meets Afshan, a widow, who wants him to kill Inspector Pathare, Ansari, Shankar and Jalal. But Ustara refuses and humiliates her. It is revealed that her childhood love and husband Mamdu, began working in Jalal's gang for money. After Afshan tells him to leave the gang, Mamdu attempts to do so, but, Shankar and Pathare kill him. Advocate Ansari fabricates fake evidence and frames Mamdu as dangerous criminal and Pathare as an honest officer, thus leaving Afshan no choice but to take matters in her own hands. A few days later, Afshan steals Ustara's gun and unsuccessfully attempts to kill Inspector Pathare at a cafe, but then finds Ansari alone in the cafe washroom and points her gun at him, but Ansari deceives her, grabbing her gun, and as he is about to kill her, Ustara enters and slits his throat.

The ‘Romeo’ bit is a bit of a misnomer. The film doesn’t work as well in the romance department as it thinks it does. Ustara and Afshan do share a few soft moments, but they needed to have kindled more. The film itself is handsomely mounted, with some well-shot action sequences– one which Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri ace as a shooting-and-scooting pair– but I kept wanting to feel more.Read at source
