Still from Merry Christmas
Director Sriram Raghavan`s highly anticipated film, `Merry Christmas,` featuring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, is now successfully running in cinemas. Produced by Tips Films and Matchbox Pictures, this cinematic gem explores a Christmas backdrop, where two strangers meet, romance brews and soon it takes an unexpected turn. Director Sriram Raghavan infuses his signature suspense into this neo-noir tale, promising a unique cinematic experience rarely seen on the big screen.
`Merry Christmas` intertwines romance, crime, and suspense in a bilingual format. Talking about the movie, director Sriram Raghavan expressed, “Merry Christmas is a very different film from anything I have made in the past. At the core of this film is a relationship that develops between two strangers over the course of one night. There`s a crime involved, of course, but sometimes one can live a lifetime in one night. The different trailers for the Hindi and Tamil versions have evoked interesting speculations about the film. We have taken a slow burn approach, there`s anticipation and suspense, but the twists and turns are quieter, even stealthier. The viewer has to invest in the characters played by Katrina and Vijay to really enjoy the pay-off.”
