Merry Christmas review
ABP Live review of Merry Christmas review read, “'Merry Christmas' is a very stylish film. Each scene and sequence is very well-choreographed, complemented with music and a background score that does most of the job of conveying the intent of characters and the story. Starring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, the film is stamped with the Sriram Raghavan signature all over it.
A background score that is almost a character and works with a touch of horror and and a lot of mystery, an interesting mix of actors, strange chemistry, neo-noir thriller and a filmography heavily influenced by Alfred Hitchcock, even to the extent where the camera is placed in a scene, voyeuristic angles and a lot more; 'Merry Christmas' has all of it.”
