Since no major Hindi films are currently competing in theaters, Merry Christmas will continue to have a free run until the release of Pankaj Tripathi's film Main Atal Hoon on January 19. Another upcoming release, Fighter, featuring Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan and directed by Siddharth Anand, is set to hit theaters on January 25. However, in South Indian states, Merry Christmas is facing tough competition from films like HanuMan, which has been performing exceptionally well and has already earned Rs 100 crore worldwide. Other successful films in the southern market include Dhanush's Captain Miller, Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram, Sivakarthikeyan's Ayalaan, Nagarjuna's Naa Saami Ranga, and Venkatesh Daggubati's Saindhav.
