Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas is set to release on Netflix on March 8. The film had its theatrical release on January 12. It was shot simultaneously in Hindi and Tamil. The Hindi version stars Katrina Kaif, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kannan, Radhika Apte, and Tinnu Anand in pivotal roles while the Tamil version features Radhika Sarathkumar, Shanmugaraja, Kevin Jay Babu, and Rajesh Williams.

The film is set in the late 1980s and follows the story of Albert (Vijay Sethupathi) who returns to Bombay on the eve of Christmas and meets a stranger, Maria (Katrina Kaif). As they spend some time together, the night takes a mysterious turn. The film is based on Frédéric Dard's French novel Le Monte-charge (Bird in a Cage).

Merry Christmas is produced by Ramesh Taurani, Jaya Taurani, Sanjay Routray and Kewal Garg. Our review of the film read: “Sriram Raghavan sets his story with relish like he is spreading a picnic mat. Most of Merry Christmas is build-up but not the kind where you are impatient for shit to go down. It’s so comforting, I wouldn’t mind living in it. But since this is a mystery-thriller, murder is inevitable. Once the body is found, Raghavan turns up the turntable.”
