So far in 2024, no Bollywood film has made its mark at the box office. Practically speaking, there were no major releases scheduled in January apart from Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter. Among the content-driven films, there was only Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas, but even it failed to create any noise. Yes, the Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif starrer has tanked a big time, and here’s how much it has earned during its opening week.
No growth despite positive reviews
Merry Christmas has been in the making for a long. Due to COVID-19 and several other reasons, the film suffered many delays and finally got itself scheduled for a release on 12th January. As director Sriram Raghavan was returning after the super success of Andhadhun, the expectations were there. However, despite receiving favorable reviews, the film failed to pick up.
Merry Christmas failed to create any buzz in the pre-release phase, but still, it marked a fair start of 2.58 crores. Even though the film was also released in Tamil and Telugu, almost the entire chunk of the collection was driven by the original Hindi version. On day 2, there was some growth as 3.78 crores came in, but again, on Sunday, the film fell flat and raked in 3.75 crores.
