Hindi and Tamil bi-lingual film ‘Merry Christmas’ released in theatres on 12th January, 2024. The Sriram Raghavan directed film featured the attractive pairing of Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif and Tamil star, Vijay Sethupathi. Despite the USPs of the film, ‘Merry Christmas’ failed to set the cash registers ringing at ticket windows.
The film turned out to be a box office disaster, even though critics praised the performances, the chemistry between Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, and the enigmatic, atmospheric tone of the film. Merry Christmas is the kind of film only true connoisseurs of slow-burn cinema will appreciate.
Now that the theatrical run of Merry Christmas is done and dusted, it’s time for the film to release on streaming. We at Binged have got you confirmed information on the ‘Merry Christmas’ OTT release date and platform. The Hindi version of Merry Christmas will premiere on Netflix on 8th March, 2024, exactly 8 weeks after the theatrical release of the film. There’s still no clarity on the OTT release date or platform of the Tamil version of Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas follows two strangers, played by Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, who meet on Christmas Eve and spend time together. Both have secrets to hide, and skeletons in their cupboards. What follows the thereafter is the enigma that makes Merry Christmas a gripping watch.
Sanjay Kapoor and Vinay Pathak play crucial roles in Merry Christmas. Interestingly, Vinay Pathak is only a part of the Hindi version of Merry Christmas, while Radhika Sarathkumar is a part of the Tamil version of the film, and not the Hindi version.
Radhika Apte and Ashwini Kalsekar have cameos, while Tinnu Raaj Anand, Pratima Kannan, Gayathrie, among others, play key characters in the film. Merry Christmas is written and directed by Sriram Raghavan, who’s earlier made the seminal ‘Andhadhun’ and ‘Badlapur’.
Merry Christmas premieres on Netflix worldwide on 8th March, 2024.
