Suriya is ready to return to the big screen on May 1, 2025, with his latest action drama Retro. Directed by the talented Karthik Subbaraj, the film has already created buzz, thanks to its stylish trailer that wowed fans with its sharp editing and strong Hindi version. Expectations are high as fans eagerly wait to see what this new movie will bring.
Suriya’s Last Big Release: Kanguva
Suriya’s last film to hit theaters was Kanguva, which turned out to be a massive success at the box office. The film opened with a huge ₹22 crore on its first day in India, becoming the biggest opening of the actor’s career so far. It set a new benchmark for Suriya’s films.
However, it’s going to be tough for Retro to match or beat that number. The reason? Retro is facing strong competition at the box office, with two other big films—Raid 2 and HIT 3—releasing on the same day. This clash could affect the film’s total collections on opening day.
Retro vs Top Tamil Openers of 2025
Retro is unlikely to break into the top two spots for Tamil film openings in 2025. So far, the biggest Tamil opener this year has been Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly, which collected ₹29.25 crore on day one. Even the second spot belongs to Ajith again, with Vidaamuyarchi earning ₹27 crore on its opening day.
This puts pressure on Retro, as it might not even reach these numbers. However, it still has a strong chance to do well.
Can Retro Enter the Top 5 Tamil Openers of 2025?
Despite the tough competition, Retro is expected to enter the list of top 5 Tamil openers of 2025. To do that, it needs to collect just over ₹3 crore on its first day. If it manages that, it will beat Vishal’s Madha Gaja Raja, which currently holds the fifth spot with ₹3 crore.
If Retro makes it into the top 5, it will also push out one of the most profitable Tamil films of the year from this prestigious list. This will be a major achievement for Suriya, especially considering the box office clash.
Current Top 5 Tamil Openers of 2025 (India)
- Good Bad Ugly – ₹29.25 crore
- Vidaamuyarchi – ₹27 crore
- Dragon – ₹5.4 crore
- Veera Dheera Sooran – ₹3.2 crore
- Madha Gaja Raja – ₹3 crore
Final Thoughts
While Retro might not become Suriya’s biggest opener ever, it still has the potential to make a solid mark at the box office. With an exciting trailer, strong buzz, and a talented director at the helm, the film could easily secure a spot among the top 5 Tamil openers of 2025. Fans will be watching closely to see if Retro can live up to the hype and deliver a strong performance on opening day.
