Retro Hindi OTT Release Date: Surya’s Action-Drama May Arrive on Netflix Soon

The much-talked-about Tamil film “Retro”, starring Surya and Pooja Hegde, is creating waves at the box office and now fans are eagerly waiting for its OTT release in Hindi. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Retro is a romantic action-comedy drama that blends love, laughter, and conflict in a unique cinematic style.

About the Film

“Retro” is produced by Stone Bench Creations and 2D Entertainment. The movie runs for 2 hours and 48 minutes and is made on an estimated budget of ₹65 crore, according to public sources.

After its theatrical release in multiple languages including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, many viewers from the Hindi-speaking regions couldn’t catch the film due to its limited screen count. This has led to a growing curiosity about the Hindi dubbed OTT release.

The film has been well-received by audiences, with an impressive IMDb rating of 8.1.

OTT and TV Release Details

The OTT rights for “Retro” have been acquired by Netflix for ₹56 crore. As per media buzz, the film is expected to premiere on Netflix in the first week of June 2025. However, some sources also speculate that the Hindi dubbed version might drop between May 29 and May 31.

Official confirmation of the exact release date is still awaited.

As for its TV premiere, the rights have reportedly been sold to Zee Cinema, and the film may be broadcasted sometime in July.

What’s Special About “Retro”?

Before Retro, Surya’s previous film Kanguva didn’t meet expectations at the box office. With Retro, expectations were high, but it received mixed reactions.

In the film, Surya plays a man who doesn’t get along with his gangster father. The story takes a turn when he travels to Ireland to reconcile with his estranged wife, only to get caught in a local gang’s violent underworld.

There is a major twist—Surya’s character is later revealed to be a sort of local hero in Ireland. However, the story’s direction often feels confusing, and the comedy portions seem misplaced.

Highlights of the Film

• Surya’s strong performance is the biggest reason to watch the film.
• A 15-minute sequence packed with dance, action, and drama stands out as the film’s most engaging part.
• Despite high production value, the movie fails to connect emotionally with the audience.
• The storyline is familiar and doesn’t offer anything significantly new, making it less likely to become a blockbuster.

Still, for Surya’s fans, the film is worth watching at least once.

Box Office Collection

“Retro” is performing well in theaters. In its first 10 days, the film earned:

• ₹66.98 crore in the Indian market
• Expected to earn ₹2.5 crore on Day 10
• India Net Collection: ₹70.48 crore
• India Gross: ₹82.70 crore
• Overseas Collection: ₹32.16 crore
• Worldwide Total: ₹114.86 crore

Thanks to Surya’s strong fanbase, Retro has already achieved superhit status at the box office.

Final Thoughts

While “Retro” might not be a groundbreaking film in terms of storytelling, Surya’s presence, action scenes, and a few emotional moments make it an entertaining watch. Fans now eagerly await the official Hindi dubbed release on Netflix, which could bring the film to an even wider audience.
