'''''Christmas Rathri''''' ({{Translation|Christmas Night}}) is a 1961 Indian [[Malayalam]]-language film, directed and produced by [[P. Subramaniam]] and was filmed at [[Merryland Studio]]. The film stars [[T. K. Balachandran]], [[Thikkurissy Sukumaran Nair]], [[Soman]] and [[Adoor Pankajam]]. The film had musical score by Br. Lakshmanan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.malayalachalachithram.com/movie.php?i=86|title=Christmas Raathri|accessdate=2014-10-09|publisher=www.malayalachalachithram.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://malayalasangeetham.info/m.php?1344|title=Christmas Raathri|accessdate=2014-10-09|publisher=malayalasangeetham.info}}</ref> The plot revolves around Advocate George (played by Thikkurissi) and Annie (played by Miss Kumari). Despite its title, the film has very little to do with [[Christmas]], except that the climax of the film occurs on [[Christmas Eve]].<ref>{{Cite news|date=2009-12-28|title=CHRISTMAS RATHRI 1961|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/CHRISTMAS-RATHRI-1961/article16367298.ece|access-date=2021-01-08|issn=0971-751X}}</ref><br />
