At the box office, Retro started strong and minted ₹52.95 crore in its first week. This was despite competition from Nani's HIT: the Third Case and Ajay Devgn starrer Raid 2. However, the movie received mixed reviews from fans, which affected its run significantly after a week. In the 2nd week, it minted just ₹6.94 crore, while it failed to hit even ₹2 crore in its third week. So far, Retro India collection stands at a little over ₹60 crore and under ₹100 crore worldwide. After Kanguva, this is Suriya's second commercial flop in a row. The movie will look to enjoy a second lease of life on OTT now.
