This is what 'Merry Christmas' is all about
Merry Christmas—an adaptation of Frédéric Dard's Bird in a Cage—explores the intricacies of cold-blooded revenge. The film narrates the Christmas Eve escapades of two strangers—Maria (Kaif) and Albert (Sethupathi), whose immediate friendship takes a dark twist when Maria's husband Jerome is discovered "murdered," unleashing unforeseen chaos. Kaif and Sethupathi aside, the Hindi version also features Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kannan, and Tinnu Anand.
'Sometimes one can live a lifetime in one night'
In a recent interview, Raghavan shared insights into crafting the film. "It is a very different film from anything I have made in the past." Emphasizing the core of the movie as a relationship evolving between two strangers in one night, he added, "There's a crime involved...but sometimes one can live a lifetime in one night." Raghavan described the film's approach as a "slow-burn."
