Merry Christmas

"Merry Christmas bewitches even when it baffles. Katrina Kaif conveys confusion and vulnerability cloaked in occasional flashes of steely determination, and is helped a great deal by the contrast that Vijay Sethupathi represents."

"Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi make for an unlikely pair, but they make it work, and she again proves that she can be an actor underneath all that pancake and bump-and-grind."

"Sriram Raghavan surprises once again & nothing less than this was anyway expected from him after Badlapur & Andhadhun. The way Raghavan has treated this as an 'entertaining film' rather than being all about thrills makes this stand out from the crowd. If you're able to keep Andhadhun aside for this one & watch this for the movie it is, you'll have more fun."

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

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

"'Merry Christmas' may not be as dark as 'Andhadhun', one of Raghavan's finest works. But then, the carols here are not about care and compassion alone. You see, sometimes violence is better than sacrifice."

"I was on the edge of my seat for all but the first minute of the film. Everything in the film comes together towards that end—keeping you on the edge. Will not ask for more from a thriller!"

"Sriram Raghavan mounts yet another delectable tale of a charming woman accosted by a stranger. The slow-burn gradually combusts our attention leaving plenty of soot behind."

"If you want to watch a thriller with a twist, go for it! Director Sriram Raghavan's mastery of several twists and turns comes to the fore as we see characters and a dead body making the happy ambience turn ominous."

"Writer-director Sriram Raghavan, five years since his last directorial Andhadhun, once again displays a spectacular example of what brilliant writing looks like. The film goes far and beyond, entering unchartered territories and immerses you in a world of deception, death and darkness."
