The picture
Set in a vibrant yet dangerous underworld, Retro follows the story of Paarivel 'Paari' Kannan, an orphan raised by a seasoned gangster. Paari's quest to uncover his true origins leads him into the heart of a violent cult and a web of betrayal. As he strives to fulfill an ancient prophecy and reunite with his long-lost love, Rukmini, the film balances high-intensity action with moments of laughter and romance, exploring the cost of leaving a violent legacy behind for a peaceful future.
