Retro received polarising reactions from audiences and critics upon its theatrical release. However, it remains a stylish and engaging film featuring slick action sequences, emotional romance, and striking visuals.
The film follows Paarivel Kanna (Paari), a young man adopted by a gangster’s wife. After her death, Paari becomes a weapon for his adoptive father, who never truly treats him like a son.
Paari later falls in love with Rukmini, a veterinarian who believes in peace and non-violence. Determined to change his life for her, he tries to abandon his violent past, but his efforts fail, even on his wedding day.
What follows is Paari’s journey to reclaim his love. However, his quest for love leads him to find the true purpose of his life, fulfilling the destiny he was foretold to have.
The films mentioned above are just a few of the many entertaining ventures headlined by Suriya that are available on OTT platforms. As fans await the releases of Karuppu, Suriya46, and Suriya47 this year, revisiting these films is a great way to pass the time.
