Big Headache Loading for Retro: Totally Unexpected

Following the terrible setback of Kanguva, Suriya is returning with Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, which is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on May 1st.

On the same day, Sasi Kumar’s Tourist Family, directed by debutant Abishan Jeevinth, is also scheduled for release. Despite being a low-budget movie, Tourist Family has generated decent buzz among audiences following a solid trailer.

Now, according to insider reports, some Kollywood industry people who have watched Tourist Family have shared positive responses, and the movie has a significant chance of becoming a super hit.

Following this, some trade experts have predicted that Suriya’s Retro will undoubtedly acquire a huge number of screens in its opening weekend. However, if Retro receives a negative response, Tourist Family has a great opportunity to take over many single screens from the second week.

Also, Retro is a love-action-drama genre, whereas Tourist Family is a family entertainer, so Tourist Family has a slight edge in appealing to family audiences.

Nevertheless, Retro carries huge expectations among the audience, and it remains to be seen whether it satisfies those expectations and emerges as a blockbuster success, or if Tourist Family will take over Retro’s screens from the second weekend after release.
