For those who have seen films that introduce characters as fast clouds in the last few years, Merry Christmas will look different. Director Sriram Raghavan has slowly described the character of a woman who is not happy in married life and a man with a mysterious past.
Albert (Vijay Sethupathi), an engineer who comes to Mumbai from Dubai, sees Maria with his daughter who is mute and is unable to speak. Maria wants to spend time with Albert to take revenge on her husband when she is having trouble with him.
He puts his daughter to sleep at home and goes out with Albert. When Maria returns, she is shocked to find her husband murdered.
He immediately decides to inform the police. But Alberto is in a hurry to leave. “I’m not an engineer,” Albert said.
Police investigate the murder of Maria’s husband. Sriram Raghavan has shown why Maria’s husband was murdered, who killed her and who was Albert from Dubai.
The film gets our attention from the moment it enters the theater till the end. Sriram Raghavan has been summoned to the edge of his seat in various scenes.
Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif have done well or have lived as Albert and Maria. Shanmugarajan’s performance has been acted in such a way that no one can miss it.
Sriram Raghavan’s films are not without flashback scenes and scenes that bring you to the edge of the seat. There are such scenes in Merry Christmas as well.
Merry Christmas- Believe and see.
