Scores an earth-shattering opening!
According to Sacnilk, Retro earned an estimated 19.25 crore net on day 1 at the Indian box office. Tamil contributed around 90% of the total collections, while the remaining sum came from Telugu and Hindi belts. It surpassed HIT 3, Raid 2, and other biggies to become the top choice of moviegoers on May Day. Needless to say, Suriya and Pooja Hegde starrer made the most of the holiday boost!
Including taxes, the gross total stands at 22.71 crores. The word-of-mouth has been positive, and the buzz is humungous. It would be exciting to see where Retro will land in its opening weekend.
Although a box office failure, Kanguva began its journey on a record-breaking note. It minted 24 crore net, scoring the highest-ever opening for Suriya. Retro now follows the lead, taking over the #2 spot.
