The Reviews for Merry Christmas Are Here

Christmas might have passed, but Merry Christmas has just arrived! The excitement surrounding this movie, directed by Sriram Raghavan, is through the roof, and we simply cannot wait anymore. Read ahead to know what the critics had to say about this Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif-starrer.


Times of India
The movie is quintessentially Raghavanesque and neo-noir in its tonality. It springs surprises that you least expect, and therein lies his ingenuity. The narrative takes wings in the second half and keeps you engrossed right until the end. When you think all’s well that ends well, another track begins. The twist does not seem incongruous but adds another layer to the narrative.

Hindustan Times
Sriram Raghavan, five years since his last directorial, once again displays a spectacular example of what brilliant writing looks like. His latest outing, Merry Christmas, isn't just about the unusual pairing of two very distinct actors - Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi. The film goes far and beyond, entering uncharted territories and immerses you in a world of deception, death and darkness.

India Today
In the middle of big-budget action films and remakes comes a Sriram Raghavan film to remind us all that great cinema is in the spaces between dialogues and how unconventional pairings can do wonderful things on the big screen. ‘Merry Christmas’ has Vijay Sethupathi paired opposite Katrina Kaif in a delicious whodunnit that takes its time to simmer and deliver a sizzling climax.

The Quint
Vijay Sethupathi has mastered the art of the poker face that can lend itself both to humour and intrigue. It’s a performance we’ve come to expect from Sethupathi though, and that does take away from some of its charm. But his eyes are every bit as haunting as they come.
