Merry Christmas Movie Review

“Merry Christmas” is a gripping murder mystery and suspense drama directed by Sriram Raghavan. Starring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, the film weaves a tale of deception and romance set against the backdrop of Christmas Eve in Mumbai. While the narrative flows smoothly, some twists lack impact compared to Raghavan’s previous work. Despite this, standout performances from Sethupathi and Kaif, along with supporting roles from Sanjay Kapoor and Radhika Apte, keep viewers engaged. Overall, “Merry Christmas” offers a compelling blend of suspense, romance, and intrigue that makes it worth a watch.

Merry Christmas Rating

In a word, this film is “magnificent.” Katrina Kaif delivers one of her best performances, alongside Vijay Sethupathi’s stellar act. The entire cast excels, delivering stellar performances. As a fan of crime thriller noir cinema, this film is a must-add to my list. While the first half may seem slow with just two characters conversing, it sets up perfectly for the second half’s explosive twists and turns. The cinematography and direction are top-notch, offering beautiful shots and revealing character secrets. Despite the few viewers in the theater, I’m sure this film will gain more attention once it hits OTT platforms. Rating: 7.3/10 by 24k voters
