A Cinematic Masterpiece That Deserves the Big Screen

Sometimes, even when a film doesn’t shout its brilliance, it quietly carves itself into your soul—and Retro does exactly that. Karthik Subbaraj has delivered a haunting, poetic, and profoundly human film that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s not just another action-drama it’s a meditation on pain, art, laughter, and healing.

Retro dives deep into the philosophy of laughter, the soul’s yearning for expression, and the invisible scars that trauma leaves behind. Suriya’s portrayal of Pari is career-defining raw, vulnerable, and heartbreakingly real. Watching him attempt to force a smile in front of a mirror a scene reminiscent of Joker, but rooted in a unique Tamil emotionality was deeply affecting. When he finally breaks into a real laugh, it feels like rain on parched land. It’s cathartic. It’s beautiful.

 

Moments like the red wedding long shot, the deer stare through the window, and the powerfully real reunion with Rukmini (Pooja Hegde’s best performance yet) are not just memorable they’re cinematic gold. Santhosh Narayanan’s music is pure soul; ‘Edharkaaga Marubadi’ is not just a song, it’s a cry from the 

heart.
