Rating: 3.5/5

While the film is titled Merry Christmas, primarily set in an apartment above a bakery—one thing you know, even before stepping into the theatre is it’ll be loaded with trays after trays of Easter eggs. Meaning, inside jokes and references to books, movies, pop-culture, in general. 

Sometimes overtly so, in the sense of a screaming dedication to director Shakti Samanta, to start with, a or a thank-you credit for French filmmaker, Éric Rohmer. 
But mostly subtle, for the spotting—in the sense of, say, the Parinda song Pyar ke mod pe, playing for muzak in the old-world cinema, Regal, followed by the familiar tune of the ‘Lime ‘n’ lemony Limca’ ad!
