Retro movie box office collection day 1: Retro, which hit the screens on May 1, has opened to a good response at the Indian box office despite receiving mixed reviews.

Retro roars at the box office

Suriya is in the limelight because of his latest release Retro, which opened in theatres yesterday. The gangster drama has taken a good start at the box office. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, it earned Rs 19.25 crore (nett) in India on the first day. Of this, nearly 17 crore came from the Tamil version.

Interestingly, Kanguva had earned Rs 24 crore on the first day.

Retro has received mixed reviews, with critics lauding the performances but panning the execution. It remains to be seen whether the mediocre word-of-mouth affects the flick once the initial buzz dies down.
