Sriram Raghavan talks about the box office failure of Katrina Kaif, Vijay Sethupathi-starrer Merry Christmas.
Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi collaborated for the very first time for Sriram Raghavan's Merry Christmas. However, though the film received a positive response from the audience upon release, it failed to make a mark at the box office. The filmmaker has now broken his silence on the same.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Sriram Raghavan talked about the box office failure of Merry Christmas and revealed that it was Andhadhun's success that encouraged him to take risks. He said, "You learn something with every film. Every film is just like your first film. That’s how this industry works. When it comes to my view, I try to look for some sort of variety in the kinds of subjects that I pick, even though they may all be in the thriller genre. There is a bit of variety."
He further added, "It’s fine. We have to accept it. It was not like Andhadhun, which got so much love from all quarters. I was not even expecting the same love that Andhadhun got. But it was the success of Andhadhun that encouraged me to do something experimental and riskier. I did know that certain people will find the film slow. But in my heart, I was hoping that the film would work on the big screen and would find its audience. That being said, it has its own value, and I am fine with the response that the film got."
Merry Christmas is an Indian neo-noir mystery thriller film based on Frédéric Dard's French novel Le Monte-charge (Bird in a Cage). The film also starred Radhika Apte, Sanjay Kapoor, and Vinay Pathak along with others in key roles, and collected Rs 26.25 crore worldwide at the box office. Though the film was loved by everyone, a section of society found the ending of the film disappointing.
