Retro Box Office Day 2: Retro, the much-anticipated action thriller starring Suriya and Pooja Hegde, opened well at the box office with good opening-day collections. The movie, though, witnessed collections dip on day two, following the trend for big-budget movies after their initial hype. The movie still holds its ground even after the dip, showing its strong appeal among audiences.
Retro raked in ₹19.25 crore on its opening day, a decent start in most markets. Action, storyline, and star power contributed to the buzz, with fans packing theaters in flocks. Its Tamil opening day, with decent occupancy, laid a decent foundation for the other days.
Based on early estimates, Retro raked in ₹7.50 crore on its second day, thereby reaching a two-day total of ₹26.75 crore. While the fall is only natural for first-rung films following the first-day rush, piracy might have also played its part. Because illegal prints were already in circulation online, part of the potential audience may have weighed pirated streaming against viewing it on the big screen, damaging its collections. Despite these missteps, word-of-mouth and weekend box office business can help the film go far.
Suriya’s work as a local don has been highly praised, and he has added richness and interest to the film’s story. With his past history of delivering hard-hitting performances, he has once again portrayed a powerful character that finds space in the minds of the audience. His pre-release interviews and fan interactions in Thiruvananthapuram have maintained the hype for the film.
Even though the second-day drop was visible, weekend box office collections will determine whether Retro can keep its box office dominance going. Films usually experience an increase in revenues on Saturday and Sunday as more individuals hurry to theaters. If word-of-mouth remains favorable, Retro could recover and continue to perform well.

In spite of day two’s dip in revenues, Retro has already made a good overall and is yet to be sought after. Provided it has Suriya’s drawing power and an engaging story to tell. There is still room for the film to perform well in the following days. Whether the weekend rush will turn it into a hit remains to be seen.
