Merry Christmas Day 4 BO: Katrina Kaif-Vijay Sethupathi starrer drops by nearly 55 %

'Merry Christmas, starring Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif, hit theaters on January 12. Though the film began with a slow start on Friday, it picked up considerably on Saturday, showed a small jump on Sunday, but on Monday, it dropped massively by 55% to collect just Rs 1.65 crore as per early estimates. The 4 day collection of the film today stands at Rs 11.38 crore.

As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the film opened to Rs 2.55 crore on Day 1, which was in tune with director Sriram Raghavan’s past successes like Badlapur and Andhadhun which usually picks up on positive word of mouth.Saturday did see the impact of that word of mouth, as the film saw a major jump of 40 %, accumulating Rs 3.45 crore, while Sunday was disheartening, as it saw a jump of just 10 %, collecting Rs 3.83 crore. All eyes were on Monday as it would decide the fate of the film, and one can say the film will have a difficult run at the box office. Though it still has more than a week in hand as Fighter only releases on January 25, but films like Hanu Man, Animal etc are still running and audiences might prefer them over this one.
The film revolves around Albert (played by Vijay) and Maria (portrayed by Katrina Kaif), two strangers whose paths unexpectedly intersect, leading them into a whirlwind of unfortunate circumstances. In classic Sriram Raghavan fashion, 'Merry Christmas' promises a thrilling ride, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats as they try to anticipate the next moves of Albert and Maria.
