The film is based on Frédéric Dard's French Novel Le Monte-charge (Bird in a Cage) and also has Tinnu Anand, Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Ashwini Kalsekar and Radhika Apte playing supporting characters in the Hindi version.

READ: Merry Christmas Movie Review: Love, actually

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.”
