Retro review
Retro also stars Pooja Hegde, Jayaram, Joju George, Karunakaran, Nassar, and Prakash Raj. Shriya Saran is also set to make a special cameo. Retro is directed by Karthik Subbaraj and marks his first collaboration with Suriya.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Suriya has outdone himself in this film, as he does in all his films. Whether it is the action or the comedy, the Kollywood star excels and the scenes between him and Pooja are very sincere and authentic. For Pooja Hegde, the role of Rukku is one of the best in her career and she has really aced it. The emotional moments are real and one can empathise with her.”
