According to reports, keywords such as 'Retro Movie Download', 'Retro Movie HD Download', 'Retro Tamilrockers', 'Retro Filmyzilla', 'Retro Telegram Links', and 'Retro Movie Free HD Download' are being widely searched. Pirated versions of Retro are said to have surfaced on websites Filmyzilla, Movierulez, Telegram, Tamilrockerz, and others. They are available in 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, 240p, and HD quality.
Fans are advised not to access these pirated versions as doing so may leave them vulnerable to financial fraud and malware. It can also result in legal complications. Supporting piracy also dilutes the efforts of the film fraternity.

Some red herrings that will confuse the audience so that we are emotionally and intellectually caught up in the story, a detective who uses logic that will baffle us with its brilliance and a final revelation of the culprit that will shock us. Detective Ujjwalan does not use any of these devices in a forceful enough manner. The period settings are interesting and the village characters are loveable enough, though some of the superb comic talents from social media, Ameen, Nihal Nizam, Nibraz and Shahubas, are barely utilised. The film seems to go in the direction of most Dhyan films; a bit of an anti-climax.' What's next? With Rs 57 lakhs collected on its tenth day, 'Detective Ujjwalan' continues to draw crowds despite facing competition from new releases. Given the current momentum, the movie is likely to continue adding to its box office tally in the coming weeks.
