Set in bombay (now Mumbai), Albert (Vijay Sethupathi) returns to the Maximum City on christmas Eve. While seeking to relieve his loneliness in a restaurant, he meets Maria (Katrina Kaif), who was dumped by her date when she brought her kid along. This is quickly followed by a movie outing (most likely 'The Adventures of Pinocchio'), following which Maria befriends Albert and asks her to her home.
One thing leads to another, and these strangers are caught up in a spectacular night of adventure, riks, and passion. Perhaps this is why, throughout the film and even in the teaser, director sriram raghavan emphadata-sizes on screen: 'Check your stuff before leaving the cinema.' Maybe it was for Albert. Based on Frédéric Dard's Le Monte-charge, watch Merry christmas to see why.
In recent years, I've noticed a decline in the role of music in movies, with background music falling even more behind. But not for sriram Raghavan. BGM has played an essential role in all of his films, not only increasing the impact of the story but also moving it ahead, and the same is true in Merry Christmas. The hero aspect, in my opinion, and compliments to Daniel B. George for a remarkable background soundtrack in this thriller love tale, demonstrating his musical flexibility in both compelling and tender scenes.
Lights and darkness have been expertly used to express emotions and occasions, particularly in the cinema hall sequence and at Maria's house, where the light of the christmas tree is turned on first, followed by the overall lights of the living room, emphasizing the mood and occasion surrounding which the film is set.
There are two crucial components of a film that I believe Merry christmas underplays: the intermission and the conclusion. The intermission came too soon, with a very lacklustre sequence preceding it, and the conclusion was just unsatisfying; as a staunch sriram raghavan fan, I expected a bit more. I stress that the sequences aren't horrible; they probably simply don't meet your expectations. This, I feel, is the one feature that might detract from the picture.
One of the most difficult tasks for an actor is to depict subtle emotions while maintaining the mystery in tremendously emotionally packed (happy and sad) scenes in a suspenseful film, which katrina kaif does brilliantly in Merry Christmas. A very lovely performance.  Vijay Sethupathi is an exceptional actor who is possibly the greatest example of controlled acting. He never makes a mistake in a single sequence and inspires so many people simply by reciting his words, or so it appears.
Overall, Merry christmas has thrill and love in almost the right places
