Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif work well together in a film that plays out in a quieter, lighter fashion

In a scene in the film, one character tells another that there�s no point in watching a movie without popcorn. Similarly, there�s no point in watching a Sriram Raghavan movie without expecting sporadic flashbacks, film references, completely out-there characters, and an edge-of-the-seat experience. ...(more)

MERRY CHRISTMAS is well made and laced with a fine performance.

Sriram Raghavan's direction is bravura. The filmmaker's distinct execution style and trademark stamp are visible from start to finish, be it in the film's vintage aspects, music and of course, in the twists and turns. Also, this time he gives an out-of-the-box experience as he uses the slow burn tec...(more)

Katrina Kaif-Vijay Sethupathi Thriller Bewitches Even When It Baffles

Merry Christmas is firmly focused on Kaif and Sethupathi, but it does not let the secondary characters drift into any manner of insignificance irrespective of the length of time that they are on the screen.

Terrific Katrina Kaif, Vijay Sethupathi deliver a solid start to the new year

Albert (Vijay Sethupati) and Maria (Katrina Kaif) don't really meet cute in the classic girl-and-boy way. This is a more lived-in, mature bump-into-each-other in a series of what-you-here-again manner which makes you grin. In fact, for the entire first hour of the two hour-duration of �Merry Christm...(more)

Sriram Raghavan Would Make You Forget Andhadhun, Thanks To Vijay Sethupathi & Katrina Kaif!

Sriram Raghavan surprises once again & nothing less than this was anyway expected from him after Badlapur & Andhadhun. One thing that took me by shock was the humor he aced. After watching �Le Monte-Charge� (a 1962 French film based on the same novel as this one), I can definitely say this is all Ra...(more)
