Retro starring Suriya released amid very good hype and buzz. However, the film secured a mixed review in the Tamil version and a below-par review and word of mouth in the Telugu version on the opening day. Still, Retro managed to open big with nearly 33 crores gross worldwide, but the performance on Day 2 is not promising.
The film, as said, saw a drop on its second day and collected only around 14 crores gross worldwide, taking the 2-day worldwide gross to 47 crores. It also seemed to witness only a negligible jump today, and doesn’t look good enough to post a solid weekend performance. With this trend, the film may collect around 75 crores by this weekend. After the weekend ends, Retro may find it difficult to continue the momentum on weekdays with this performance.
So, likely, Retro may not reach the 100 crore mark worldwide and may end up below this figure. Kanguva, Suriya’s previous venture, somehow managed to cross the 100 crore mark worldwide despite receiving poor and negative reviews. Kanguva did mostly well in Telugu, Hindi, and other language markets, apart from its Tamil version. But, Retro has no solid performance in the other language markets, implying a lesser final run than Kanguva.
