Retro, Suriya's most recent movie, which debuted in theaters on May 1, is preparing for its OTT debut. Netflix owns the rights to the movie, and it was announced that Retro will be available in several languages beginning May 30. The first time Suriya has collaborated with Karthik Subbaraj, the filmmaker of Petta, is in Retro, a love-based action film. Retro is a period film that examines the events in the life of an adopted kid of a criminal. It covers a lot of ground, from the Chosen One to the destiny of a man connected to his violent history. Here's why you should see the movie this weekend, given that it's set to premiere on OTT tomorrow.

Retro on OTT: Why stream Suriya’s romantic actioner with Karthik Subbaraj

Suriya’s intense avatar onscreen once again

Paari Vel, played by Suriya, is renowned for his captivating performances in movies such as Ayan and Singam. In Retro, he displays his powerful acting talent. In his debut collaboration with Karthik Subbaraj, Suriya excels at a controlled performance as a guy who is unable to grin because his violent history never seems to leave him. In the movie, Suriya portrays the adopted son of Joju George, a Pani actor. Paari Vel's problematic relationship results in far more revelations about himself and his history because the former despises and views him as little more than a henchman.

The fresh and distinctive score by Santhosh Narayanan

Santhosh Narayanan has once again worked with Karthik Subbaraj and created a vintage style music for the movie, whether it be the wedding song Kanimma, which you can vibe to with your loved ones, or Kannadi Poove, in which Suriya's Paari Vel recalls his love Rukku (Pooja Hegde). The composer's work is crucial to Retro's narrative, and the picturization of Kanimma song, where a lot takes place, is something you should be aware of.

That single shot sequence

Therefore, there are no spoilers to reveal that it is a wedding song for Rukku and Paari Vel, as Kanimma is mentioned. The cinematography, for which Shreyaas Krishna is credited, uses a single shot sequence to capture a lot of activity, not just a song. The single shot, which explores the tension between the main characters, a turning point in the story, and several aspects of the plot that move Retro to the next level, is how we vibe for Kanimma. See for yourself—no more spoilers.

Karthik Subbaraj’s fondness to blend prophecy to heroism

The tag #TheOne had been widely used by the makers of Retro. To justify this, Karthik Subbaraj blends a prophecy and heroism to tell the story of a gangster who wants to mend his ways. Karthik Subbaraj makes eccentric concepts like cult and tribe nation located at an island, and connects with a gangster who is destined to save them, in form of an intricate screenplay.

A rooted story on oppressed vs oppressor

Remember Jigarthanda DoubleX? The film spoke about art as means to record the history. Karthik Subbaraj once again brings his flavour to tell the story of oppressor versus oppressed and how the latter wins over through sheer strength and virtues. Retro’s story also seems to derive from the same concept, as the second half pans out larger and stronger as a voice.
