HT review of Retro

The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Suriya has outdone himself in this film, as he does in all his films. Whether it is the action or the comedy, the Kollywood star excels, and the scenes between him and Pooja are very sincere and authentic. For Pooja Hegde, the role of Rukku is one of the best in her career, and she has really aced it. The emotional moments are real, and one can empathise with her. Malayalam actor Joju George displays his talent once again in the role of Thilakan, while the actor who essays Michael has done a fine job too. Prakash Raj appears in a cameo, as does music director Santosh Narayan.”
