Interestingly, Merry Christmas, which is a thriller drama, has managed to grab a lot of eyeballs and intrigue the audience with its trailer and teasers. And while it has opened to mixed response, Merry Christmas has been witnessed a slow but decent box office journey. Starting with a collection of Rs 2.45 crores on day 1, the movie did witness a spike in collections during the opening weekend.

However, it has been seeing a continuous drop in numbers post weekend. After a 56% drop on first Monday, Merry Christmas saw another dip of 21% and minted Rs 1.3 crores yesterday (day 5/ first Tuesday) taking the overall collection to Rs 12.68 crores as per a report published in Sacnilk. Given the trend, Merry Christmas is likely to struggle crossing Rs 1 crore today and will make around Rs 90 lakhs to Rs 1 crore at the box office on day 6 (first Wednesday) and will cross Rs 13 crores mark.

Well, with a clear ground for around 10 days at the box office with no releases, it will be interesting to see if Merry Christmas can cross Rs 25 crores mark as a lifetime collection before the release of Fighter on January 25.

Meanwhile, talking about working with Katrina Kaif, Vijay Sethupathi told Indian Express, "I never expected I'll work with Katrina Kaif. I'm a very big fan of Katrina. I was very happy when I saw her on the first day and I couldn't express (my happiness). She is a very thoughtful actor. She has so many questions. She thinks a lot. She is very dedicated. She comes up with an idea and she is ready to adapt. Even if she can't accept your thoughts, she will listen to you. She will put in a lot of effort to make a scene better. That's why she is in the industry not only because she is beautiful but also because she is sensible. Just on the basis of beauty you can't survive for so long. There should be sense and understanding. I felt it when I was working with her".
