Katrina
Kaif
has
been
all
over
the
headlines
these
days,
courtesy
of
her
recent
release
Merry
Christmas.
Also
starring
Vijay
Sethupathi
in
the
lead,
this
Sriram
Raghavan
directorial
was
the
first
release
of
2024
and
opened
to
mixed
reviews
from
the
audience
and
critics.
Interestingly,
Merry
Christmas
marked
Katrina's
first
collaboration
with
Vijay
and
the
fans
have
been
in
awe
of
this
new
jodi.
Interestingly,
Merry
Christmas
started
the
box
office
journey
with
Rs
2.45
crores
and
a
decent
opening
weekend
collection.
However,
it
has
been
seeing
continuous
drop
post
weekend.
After
minting
Rs
1.15
crores
on
day
6
(first
Wednesday),
Merry
Christmas
witnessed
a
further
drop
in
collections
on
day
7
(first
Thursday)
as
it
earned
Rs
99
lakhs
taking
the
overall
collections
to
Rs
14.82
crores
as
per
a
report
published
in
Sacnilk.
And
now
it
is
likely
to
see
another
drop
in
numbers
ahead
of
the
second
weekend.
As
per
the
trend,
Merry
Christmas
is
will
fail
to
make
Rs
1
crore
at
the
box
office
today
(day
8/
second
Friday).
In
fact,
it
has
raked
in
Rs
1
lakh
from
the
morning
show
so
far
and
the
number
is
likely
to
reach
Rs
80
lakhs
by
the
end
of
the
day.
The
fall
is
evident
with
the
release
of
two
movies
today.
We
are
talking
about
Sidharth
Malhotra's
Indian
Police
Force
releasing
on
Amazon
Prime
tomorrow
and
Pankaj
Tripathi's
Main
Atal
Hoon
hitting
the
theatres.
Meanwhile,
talking
about
working
with
Sriram
Raghavan
in
Merry
Christmas,
Katrina
told
News18
Showsha,
"He
is
going
to
make
you
tell
him
what
you
feel
in
the
scene
and
how
will
the
character
react
to
the
situations
that
she
is
in.
He
makes
you
search
for
honesty.
So,
working
on
Merry
Christmas
was
extremely
rewarding
and
challenging
at
the
same
time.
It
was
such
an
intense
process,
but
a
wonderful
one".
