Retro X reactions
So far, Retro has been getting mixed reactions from the audiences. While some claim it is a perfect comeback of Suriya, others feel director Karthik Subbaraj has disappointed them this time. 'Retro is a real slow second half could’ve trimmed so many scenes, the plot was really good but the screenplay is bad imo. A decent watch, I’d say,' a user wrote on X. While another tweet read, 'Superb performances from both Surya & Pooja. They are the backbone of this film. Really liked the first half a lot. Decent BG score by SaNa.'
