Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Retro hit theatres on May 1 and became the highest-grossing film of Suriya’s career, collecting nearly ₹250 crore so far.

Retro is a romantic action gangster drama where Suriya plays Kannan, a powerful gangster. The story revolves around Parivel, raised by gangster Thilakan (Joju George), who builds an empire with Kannan. A dispute over a goldfish deal causes a rift between them. Parivel lands in jail for five years due to Thilakan's actions. Meanwhile, his lover Rukmini (Pooja Hegde) leaves him.

Upon release, Parivel escapes from prison to find Rukmini, who is living on an island near the Andamans. Coincidentally, Thilakan also arrives on the island for another deal. There, a gang led by Rajvel Dora (Nassar) and his son Michael controls the area. The story unfolds with secrets about Parivel’s past, the mystery of the goldfish, and whether he will reunite with Rukmini.

Retro promises action, emotion, and suspense—streaming soon on Netflix.
