According to the early estimate by industry tracker Sacnilk, Retro had quite a houseful opening. On day 1, the film minted ₹13.22 crore for all languages so far.
However, these are just the earnings from the morning and afternoon screenings of Retro. The final figures will be up on the website post 10 pm.
