Suriya’s much-anticipated film Retro has unfortunately failed to make an impact in both the Tamil and Telugu markets. Despite high expectations and pre-release buzz, the film struggled to connect with audiences.

In Telugu, Retro recorded a disappointing closing share of just Rs 5.8 crore, marking it as a clear box-office flop. Critics and viewers cited a weak screenplay and lackluster execution by director Karthik Subbaraj as key reasons behind the film’s poor performance.

This comes as a setback for Suriya, who has otherwise maintained a strong record with content-driven cinema. As fans await his next project, the failure of Retro serves as a reminder that even star power can’t guarantee success without a compelling story.
