Merry Christmas Box Office Collection Day 10: Katrina’s Film To See Jump During 2nd Weekend; To Cross 17Cr

Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi starrer Merry Christmas has been the talk of the town ever since it was announced. After all, it not just marked Katrina and Vijay's first collaboration but also marked director Sriram Raghavan's debut in Tamil Cinema. The movie was a thriller drama and opened to rave reviews from the audience and critics with an opening day collection of Rs 2.45 crores.

The movie saw a decent hike during the first weekend, however, after failing with crucial Monday test, Merry Christmas has been witness a continuous drop in collections. In fact, it even struggled to mint Rs 1 crores at the box office and was struggling at Rs 50 lakhs collection in a single day especially with the release of Sidharth Malhotra's Indian Police Force releasing on Amazon Prime and Pankaj Tripathi's Main Atal Hoon hitting the theatres on January 19. But looks like the second week has come as a relief for Merry Christmas.

According to a report published in Sacnilk, Merry Christmas saw a significant jump of 98% yesterday (day 9/ second Saturday) and minted Rs 1.03 crores which took the overall collection of the movie to Rs 16.30 crores. Given the trend, Merry Christmas is likely to mint Rs 1 crores today and cross Rs 17 crores. In fact, the movie has already minted Rs 10 lakhs from the morning shows so far

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".
