Retro’s box office performance
Retro, released on May 1 with high expectations, faced mixed reviews from audiences. This impacted its performance at the box office. The film ended its theatrical run with a worldwide gross of Rs 97 crore, falling just short of the Rs 100 crore milestone.
In India, the movie earned Rs 71 crore. Tamil Nadu alone contributed Rs 48.75 crore to that total. Overseas, the film managed to collect around Rs 26 crore. Despite the initial buzz, the romantic action drama, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, couldn’t fully capitalize on its hype.
