Retro Box Office Collection Day 8: Suriya's movie mints nearly ₹53 crore in a week; check Thursday earnings

Retro Box Office Collection Day 8: Actor Suriya's movie Retro ended its first week in the theaters with earnings of approximately ₹53 crore at the box office on Thursday, May 8, despite a steady slowdown.

The Tamil movie, which had opened at a whopping ₹19.25 crore on its release day on May 1, majorly clashed with Nani's Telugu movie – HIT 3. Hindi hits like Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 and Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2 have also given Retro a stiff competition.

Retro is available in two languages – Tamil and Telugu.
