REVIEW OF MERRY CHRISTMAS FILM

A film critic from Dubai gave the flick 4.25 stars and said that the audience would feel what is happening in the movie by the interval. Atif Siddiqui tweeted, "#VijaySethupathi and #KatrinaKaif starrer is a smart, gripping and whodunit, Go for it before the spoilsports come in to ruin everyone's experience. By the interval, you'll feel you know what's going on but sit back & see yourself getting proved wrong 4.25/5 (sic)."

Another user named Delusional Amphibian, who is also a filmmaker, said that the viewers need to invest in the first 1.5 hours. He wrote, "#Merry Christmas - A Slow burning mystery drama which takes its own time to setup, builds to a crescendo & then pays off in the final act. Last 15 minutes is the film but for it to work, you need to invest in First 1.5 hours. You might think where this is all leading to but only in the final act you get to know Sriram raghavan was holding all the cards till the end. In the climax, with no dailogues being said (but still so much being said) VJS walks away with all the applause! Anything more would be a spoiler. Watch it without comparing it with Andhadhun (sic)."

Merry Christmas also stars Radhika Apte and Ashwini Kalsekar in key roles. The Hindi version features Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kazmi and Tinnu Anand. The Tamil version of the movie stars Radhika Sarathkumar, Gayathrie, Shanmugarajan and Rajesh Williams in pivotal roles.
