The much-anticipated trailer for Karthik Subbaraj's Telugu thriller 'Retro', starring Suriya and Pooja Hegde, has dropped, and fans are already hailing it as a cinematic masterpiece. With Santhosh Narayanan’s pulsating background score (BGM) and Suriya’s intense performance, the trailer has set social media ablaze.
A Karthik Subbaraj Signature: Stylish Suspense & Fresh Beats
Known for his gritty storytelling and unconventional soundtracks, director Karthik Subbaraj teams up with composer Santhosh Narayanan (of 'Jigarthanda' fame) to deliver a BGM that blends retro synth waves with modern urgency. Fans praised the "fresh beats" that amplify the trailer’s noir-ish vibe.
Suriya’s 'Re-Intro' as the OG Action Hero
Suriya, fresh off the success of 'Kanguva' (2024), transforms into a brooding protagonist in 'Retro'. Fans noted his razor-sharp screen presence, with one commenting: "Retro ❌️ Re Intro✅️ The Rise Of OG Suriya". The actor’s collaboration with Subbaraj marks a bold departure from his recent historical roles.
Pooja Hegde & Ensemble Cast Shine
Pooja Hegde, last seen in 'Deva' (2024), plays a pivotal role, while Malayalam star Joju George and veteran Jayaram add depth to this pan-Indian thriller. The trailer’s sleek cinematography (Shreyaas Krishna) and razor-sharp editing (Shafique Mohamed Ali) further elevate the tension.
Why the Music Matters
Santhosh Narayanan’s score merges 1980s-inspired synth with contemporary rhythms, creating a soundscape that mirrors the film’s title—'Retro' yet revolutionary. The BGM during Suriya’s slow-motion walk and the climactic chase sequence has already sparked ringtone trends.
Production & Release Buzz
Produced by Suriya and Jyotika under 2D Entertainment, 'Retro' is slated for a Dussehra 2025 release. The film’s marketing campaign, led by BeatRoute, promises more stylistic reveals ahead.
