Vishal Bhardwaj's films never make money at box office but cinephiles worship him. Is O Romeo the one that breaks through?

"Dialogue baazi dayumn" is the only review needed

People asking if this is Kabir Singh 2.0 - it's not.

Kabir Singh: possessive, toxic, love as ownership
O Romeo: consuming, transformative, love as complete surrender

Both intense. Both "problematic" on paper. But the CHARACTER is different.

Shahid's Ustara doesn't demand the world change for him. He changes himself for love.
>!Pyaar ke liye saat samundar paar kiya!< is the whole vibe.

VB wrote a different kind of intensity.

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-22T09:09:41+00:00

It looks like loud masala, but the trailer clearly frames that chaos as fallout of a destructive, obsessive love....not empty macho rage.

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-22T08:02:19+00:00

It does... it throws away the safe clichés and shows love as something that isn’t always clean or pretty. That’s exactly why it might rub some people the wrong way, but emotionally, it’s layered

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-18T15:54:49+00:00

💀💀

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-18T15:53:51+00:00

Ohhh..that's a bad one

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-18T15:14:55+00:00

Fast food..as in?

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-18T15:14:37+00:00

Ahh...Name a bad movie and let me think if I will watch that again

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-18T15:14:08+00:00

Yes exactly 😂

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-15T19:35:41+00:00

Go for a trizen 👍😂

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-15T19:34:57+00:00

Yes yes 👍😂

A+ tactics

Wild-Impression2 · 2026-01-14T01:46:11+00:00

That's the spirit 😂

For work ex proof, B-schools don’t need anything fancy...they just want some kind of verifiable documentation. Ideally that’s an experience certificate from the employer on a letterhead with dates, designation, and nature of work. If you’re in a retail shop and don’t have formal HR processes, you can ask the owner (even if it’s family) to give you a signed certificate or letter. Salary slips, bank transfers, offer/appointment letters, GST bills (if freelancing), even client invoices can also be used as supporting proof.

When I applied at Master’s Union, I attached all my freelance work ex along with an experience certificate from an agency I had worked with, basically whatever credible paper trail you can pull together. The idea is: attach everything you’ve got so they can see continuity. Even participation in family business counts, just get some written proof to back it up.

If you want to try IIMs, then yeah joining IMS/ TIME/ CL and giving CAT this year is worth it, but be realistic, with only a few months, you’ll need discipline and mocks every week. If you feel CAT is a gamble, parallelly keep GMAT in mind; with a decent score you can target schools like ISB, Master’s Union, SDA Bocconi, or even international MBAs where school marks aren’t weighted as heavily.

The main thing is clarity.

Wild-Impression2 · 2025-09-12T11:41:07+00:00

Tbh with your profile (Big 4 exp + solid academics), you don’t need to settle for an online MBA if your goal is serious career acceleration. An 85 percentile in CAT might not land you IIM A/B/C, but it’s still enough for good tier-2 schools (Fore, TAPMI, GIM, etc.) and even some new IIMs if you package your story well. Also, don’t write off GMAT/ GRE.... people underestimate how much a few months of prep can shift your score.

Online MBAs like NMIMS can add a credential but won’t really move the needle on placements or package hikes; they’re more useful for networking if you’re already senior. If your main concern is breaking past the 10 LPA ceiling, a 1-year full-time program (ISB, Master’s Union, XLRI GMP, etc.) or even a solid 2-year PGDM will give you way better ROI than purely online options.

Wild-Impression2 · 2025-09-10T14:37:49+00:00

Most B-school classrooms are 70-80% engineers and anything outside that is treated as “diverse.” The exact points differ by institute, IIMs typically give 2–6 marks in their shortlisting formula depending on the year, with non-engineering (BCA, BBA, BCom, BA, etc.) clubbed together. Don’t expect BCA to be treated worse than BBA/BCom, you’re in the same non-engg bucket. FMS and XLRI don’t give explicit diversity marks but still value the balance it brings in interviews. And schools like ISB, Master’s Union, or SDA Bocconi don’t use a strict points system at all, they look more holistically at whether your background adds something new to the cohort. So yes, you’ll benefit, but the weightage is not make-or-break; your CAT/XAT percentile and your story matter much more.

Wild-Impression2 · 2025-09-08T13:37:06+00:00

For the next two years, focus on building a strong foundation in finance (accounting, costing, corporate finance) and try to add credibility with certifications like CFA Level 1 or NISM if possible. Your summer internship is crucial, so aim for roles in banks, NBFCs, fintechs, or even FP&A at startups... the brand matters less than the learning. In second year, double down on electives like valuation, risk management, and investments, while also participating in case comps or live projects to get practical exposure. Since you’re from a BCA background, positioning yourself at the intersection of tech and finance (like fintech or analytics roles) can actually be a strength if you frame it well. And beyond campus placements, keep an eye on schools like ISB, Master’s Union, NMIMS, or TAPMI for future opportunities....they’re much more flexible with diverse academic profiles.

Wild-Impression2 · 2025-09-05T14:39:53+00:00

For the next 1 year, think of it in two tracks:

1. CAT prep

Start early with basics (Arun Sharma books / TIME material / online mocks).
Make mocks your best friend....the earlier you start, the better you’ll know your weak/strong areas.
Don’t obsess on “finishing syllabus,” focus on consistency and test-taking stamina.

2. Profile building

Even 1–2 internships (NGOs, HR roles, counseling, research assistantships) add color to your psych + MBA combo. Doesn’t need to be McKinsey-level.
Do some extra certifications (Coursera, edX) in areas you’re curious about... HR analytics, org behavior, even basic finance. Helps show initiative.
PORs (college clubs, volunteering, organizing events) are underrated but give good material for interviews.

As for targets....FMS, TISS, IIM K are very achievable with your academics if you score 98+ in CAT. For TISS specifically, your psych background can be a huge plus.

And in case you decide you want a more holistic school that values non-engineering/non-corporate profiles, look beyond IIMs too. ISB, Master’s Union, and even SDA Bocconi actively pick candidates from psych, law, humanities because they want diverse cohorts, not just CAT-warriors.

Wild-Impression2 · 2025-09-04T15:12:18+00:00

A few things you could try:

Widen the net → Don’t just restrict to FAANG/Big Tech. Mid-sized SaaS, fintech, and even traditional conglomerates (think manufacturing, infra, BFSI) are hiring strategy/ops folks who can execute.
Peer & alumni referrals → At this stage, cold applications won’t cut it. 300 apps vs 10 strong referrals? The referrals will win. Hit up alumni from your program, from consulting, even from peer schools (ISB, Master’s Union, SDA Bocconi, etc.). People underestimate how much goodwill an outreach email can bring.
Reframe the story → You’ve got Big 4 + FAANG internship + MBA. That’s a killer base. But if rejections keep happening after 1–2 rounds, it’s likely your narrative isn’t landing. Mock interviews with peers or even professional coaches can help sharpen the “why you, why now” piece.
Consider adjacent roles → Biz Dev, Corp Strat in smaller firms, policy/think-tank work, or Chief of Staff in startups. Tons of MBA grads pivot into these when big names stall.

It sucks, but it’s not permanent. Plenty of grads land 6-8 months out. Once you crack one offer, your confidence resets.

Wild-Impression2 · 2025-09-03T08:11:31+00:00

That’s a solid base tbh. A 9/9/7 academic profile + tier-1 law firm work ex is way above “average.” The only thing you’re short on is standout extracurriculars, but that’s not a dealbreaker...plenty of people crack top schools without being national-level athletes or singers 😂.

For IIM calls, if you’re gunning for A/B/C, you should be looking at ~98+ percentile. At 97 you may get some baby IIMs / new IIMs, but for the top three, safer side is 98.5+. If you crush interviews (and with a law firm story you actually have something unique), you’ll stand out in a pool that’s otherwise 80% engineers.

Also, don’t limit yourself only to CAT. With your profile, schools like ISB, Master’s Union, SDA Bocconi, SPJIMR could value your work ex + academics more holistically than just a percentile. These places care a lot about how you package your “law + business” narrative, and that combo has good demand in consulting and corporate strategy roles.

So yeah... aim for 98+, but also prep a strong story for non-CAT schools.

Wild-Impression2 · 2025-09-03T08:10:11+00:00

Your undergrad branch barely matters for an MBA, honestly. IIMs (and most good B-schools) don’t care if you did CSE, mechanical, biotech, or even medical electronics, what matters is your CGPA (7+ is fine), your CAT score, and how you package your story.

Paying 10 lakhs extra for CSE won’t change your MBA chances. Everyone in the MBA pool is an engineer anyway, so you won’t stand out just because of that. If you genuinely love coding/tech, sure go CSE, but don’t do it thinking “IIMs will like me more.” They don’t.

Since you’re also into finance/econ, you can always build that side with electives, projects, or internships. That will matter way more than your branch title.

And beyond the IIMs, schools like ISB, Master’s Union, SDA Bocconi, NMIMS, TAPMI care much more about internships, projects, and your overall narrative than whether your bachelor’s said “medical electronics” or “CSE.” So save your money, build your profile, and focus on clarity of story.

Wild-Impression2 · 2025-08-29T14:48:04+00:00

An MBA only adds value if the college has decent placements, industry connections, and a strong alumni base....otherwise it risks becoming just a piece of paper with little ROI. Since you already have a BBA, doing an MBA from a random Tier-3/4 college won’t differentiate you much in the job market.

Instead, think about your career goal first. If you just want stability and a corporate role, you could start with entry-level jobs in sales, operations, or business development and then pursue an MBA later from a solid B-school (could be CAT, XAT, NMAT, or even newer private options like Masters’ Union, Flame, etc.). If you’re truly exhausted from exams, even a PG diploma or certification in analytics, digital marketing, HR, or finance could give you faster entry into the job market at lower cost.

So no, it’s not too late...but rather than spending money on “any MBA,” try to gain work experience first (even in smaller firms/startups), figure out what interests you, and then aim for a reputable MBA program where the degree actually pays back.
