Retro follows the journey of Paarivel "Paari" Kannan (Suriya), an orphan raised by a gangster. As he matures, Paari seeks to leave behind his violent past and reunite with his lost love, Rukmini (Pooja). However, his quest for redemption is complicated by a violent cult and a prophecy that intertwines with his fate. The film explores themes of betrayal, destiny, and the struggle between one's past and the desire for a peaceful future.
The Times of India rated the movie 3 out of 5, and a part of their review read, ¡°Karthik Subbaraj manages to make us overlook all reservations with sheer filmmaking flair. A 15-minute single-shot sequence that involves song and dance, heated conversation and tense action just makes one want to stand up and applaud. If only had the writing been more focused in the latter portions, Retro could have escaped the curse of the second half and turned into something truly memorable.¡±
