00:32 Merry Christmas, which opened up with tremendous reviews from critics and netizens, failed
00:38 to secure a decent opening at the box office.
00:41 As per Sekhmil.com, the mystery thriller secured a box office opening worth only 2.55 crores
00:49 at the box office.
00:51 The box office opening of Merry Christmas is lower than any recent Bollywood releases.
00:56 However, the film is expected to see growth during the upcoming weekend.
01:01 If all goes well, word of mouth can also give a boost to the film's box office collections.
01:07 Meanwhile, it is also reported that the movie's box office opening was majorly affected due
01:13 to its box office clash with Mahesh Babu's starrer Guntur Karam, Teja Saja's starrer
01:20 Hanuman, Dhanush's starrer Captain Miller and Tamil film Aayilan.
01:25 All these four South films have secured a higher opening than Merry Christmas.

01:35 actors.
01:36 The Hindi version features Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kannan and T.N.U.
01:41 Anand, while the Tamil version has Radhika, Sarath Kumar, Shanmuga Raja, Kevin J. Babu
01:48 and Rajesh Williams.
