The period drama, which was shot on a budget of Rs 300 crore, hit the screens last year and bombed at the box office, grossing merely Rs 100 crore worldwide in its full run.

Meanwhile, here is the day-wise breakdown for Retro:

Day 1: Rs 19.25 crore

Day 2: Rs 7.5 crore

The film¡¯s total collection in India stands at nearly Rs 27 crore. Retro has received mixed reviews, with critics praising the performances but panning the screenplay. It remains to be seen if this affects Retro once the initial buzz fades.
