Suriya is all set to make a powerful comeback to the big screens with his much-awaited film Retro, hitting theatres this weekend. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj, Retro marks their first collaboration and is already creating a strong buzz among audiences. Touted to be a refreshing love story, the film is expected to open on a high note, thanks to an impressive advance booking response.
The advance booking for Retro kicked off on Sunday, March 27 four days before its release and the early numbers are promising. So far, the film has sold around 1.50 lakh tickets across 1,030 shows in Tamil Nadu alone, raking in approximately Rs 2.70 crore in advance sales for its opening day.
Strong Momentum Beyond Tamil Nadu
The film’s excitement isn’t just limited to Tamil Nadu. Retro has recorded decent pre-sales in neighbouring states like Kerala and Karnataka as well. In Kerala, the Suriya-starrer has collected over Rs 25 lakh through advance bookings, while Karnataka has contributed around Rs 12 lakh so far. With three more days to go, the numbers are expected to rise steadily.

The positive reception to Retro’s promotional material — including its teaser, trailer, and soundtrack — has only added to the excitement. Fans are optimistic that this film will finally deliver the Clean Hit that Suriya has been waiting for, following a few underwhelming releases in recent years.
Retro will hit theatres on May 1 and will also release in Hindi and Telugu-dubbed versions. Tickets are available through online booking platforms as well as theatre counters, so fans are gearing up to witness Suriya’s magic once again on the big screen.
