Master class of a rushed movie with a lot of ambition but minimal budget

The story goes too deviated, it's bonkers!I don't know the political logic behind this movie but it seems non existent, feels like a poorly made piece with the missing essence of a karthik subbaraj padam, the quality has down graded reminiscently and awful camera work, and when I say that, I don't mean shakey camera work, cuz sometimes it can be implemented artistically but this is just horrible. Colour grading is weird and the visuals where CGI was needed should've been compromised and now, this is just a try of a commercial film from Karthik subbaraj with modest budget... Also, karthik subbaraj must take a break from trying to bring large elements of emotional sadness, it didn't woth with Jigarthanda double x, it didn't work here either... Fight scenes in Karthik's movies are one of the best in tamil cinemas, but dude flying from a gunshot or maybe even from something the looks like an one ince punch never seemed to find it's way out of his recent movies. The concept of love between paari and rukmini too felt stretched out cuz it was just a constant cycle of "accept, regret, deny".. how did karthik subbaraj go from down to earth, realistic and connectable Jigarthanda, pizza, mahaan, to this thing whatever this is.. it was a fun movie to watch nonetheless and a lot of people would enjoy it.

Had Potential but Missed the Mark

Watched Retro with decent expectations-it looked cool from the trailer, and the idea had promise. The visuals and vibe were pretty solid, and I liked the music. It really tried to give off that gritty retro feel, and some scenes did pull me in, especially in the first half. The lead actor did a good job carrying the story, and the action was alright.But after a point, it kinda lost me. The pacing slowed down, and it felt like the plot wasn't going anywhere. Some characters didn't feel fully developed, especially the villain-just felt flat and predictable. There were scenes that should've hit hard emotionally, but they didn't land. Felt like it needed tighter writing and maybe a bit more depth.Overall, not a bad movie, but not great either. It's watchable, especially if you're into dark, stylish thrillers-but don't expect anything too deep or mind-blowing. I'd say it's okay for a one-time watch.
