Sriram Raghavan’s latest thriller Merry Christmas was released yesterday. Merry Christmas is a typical Sriram Raghavan film which heavily depends on WOM.
The film has taken a decent opening by collecting 2.30 cr on its Day 1. The film had less commercial elements and was shot on a small scale. The film had no large sets and everything depended on storytelling.
The film has a high end multiplex audience as its main target audience. The film has found its audience and has got a good response.
Merry Christmas has opened in the range of Sriram Raghavan’s last release Andhadhun (2.70 cr). The film will witness a growth in this weekend and opening weekend can be in the range of 10 cr.
Have a look below at the top 4 biggest Day 1 collections of Sriram Raghavan:
| Sr No. | Films | Year | Collection |
| 1] | Agent Vinod | 2012 | 9.80 cr |
| 2] | Badlapur | 2015 | 7 cr |
| 3] | Andhadhun | 2018 | 2.70 cr |
| 4] | Merry Christmas | 2024 | 2.30 cr |
Agent Vinod was an action film. Sriram Raghavan is known for making thrillers, but tried his hands in making an action film. Agent Vinod took a good opening but failed to post good numbers in its lifetime due to its poor content.
Andhadhun collected 74.59 cr in its lifetime. Andhadhun had extraordinary WOM which helped the film to collect huge numbers. Merry Christmas has not received extraordinary WOM. The collection of Merry Christmas on Monday will give a better idea about its future trending.
Merry Christmas is the first Bollywood release of 2024. The film is directed by Sriram Raghavan. The film stars Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles.
