Karma

Coming from the makers of Gangs of Puri and Pratikhya, Karma is a brilliantly directed new age suspense thriller which has managed very well to captivate the audience and ensure everyone is glued to their seats till the end and still thinking about the twists even after the movie ends. All the characters have been beautifully placed in the amazing story. It's beautifully shot with the director having managed to extract the best out of each actor esp. Anubhav Mohanty.

Technically pretty sound be it BGM, colour grading, cinematography, scene selection, set designs, scene sequencing, etc. They too have put in massive efforts into the publicity and marketing of Karma which has reached the masses.

Director Anupam Patnaik largely has managed to justify the overacting of Anubhav (as many might feel) to the films strength through the character played by him. Very clever of him. All actors have acted well basis their respective characters and have managed to leave a lasting impression. The casting has been awesomely done.

As many might think of a specific character as the main antagonist, however the fantastic story of Karma sends the message loud and clear that each of them is in some way or the other the antagonist due to their deeds. Songs are great and are timed well as per the storyline. There is also a post credit scene which is a first for Odia cinema and a hint for a sequel.

Yes, there are many areas of improvement, and the Director surely knows all of them. But given the limitations of the Odia film industry, budgetary constraints, lack of high-end technical processes, tight timelines, etc, Karma has been made well. I am sure he shall review each of the areas of improvement when he goes back to the drawing board for the sequel and discusses each of those with his team. Hope he reviews and aims at providing answers to all questions which the audience shall have after watching Karma in the forthcoming sequel.

Anupam Patnaik is the best amongst the new age directors who has the capability to make amazing creative content which delivers well commercially as well. He has got the formula which is the need of the hour for revival of the struggling Odia Film Industry. He has managed to convert many movie buffs like me to come back to theatres to watch quality Odia films. Looking forward to the sequel.

Just watched Karma movie!! Literally one if the Bloodiest movie in odia, I went to threater with low expectations because of now a days odia cinema is producing more flop movies,but this Karma went beyond my expectations, every frame is very important to this movie (very fast screen play) coming to performances the superstar anubhav mohanty rocked in Amar Pattnaik and rest of the cast did well and justified in their roles, music could have been better, DOP work is quite thrilling, coming to writer director Anupam patnaik he succeed in giving a direction can't wait for second part no piracy pls.

This movie is THE BEST odia film to exist yet and it's very impressive to put light on the fact that this is made on a very limited budget of around 2cr. The Direction, Acting, Casting, Direction, Background Music, Screenplay, This film has acted it in every aspect.

The first half is very short, about 50mins, this first half lays the layout for the second half of the film which kicks really hard. The second half alone is 2hr long and doesn't give you any chance to get bored. The last 30mins of this Film is full of twists and turns, most of it is predictible but you would also get a feeling that there is no chance of that happening, but it happens which still maintains the suprise twist factor.

These types of films make bollywood look bad, this film with a 2cr budget would be equivalent to a 150cr budget bollywood film.

Very underated film, must watch.

A Masterpiece in odia cinema history. Highly recommended. Anupam and Anubhav a deadly combination. The level of suspense and thriller elements throughout the movie will keep you hooked and booked. The BGM was so good which adds a cherry on the cake. Each and every character of the movie was justified properly and director have utilized them extremely well. Apart from superstar Anubhav. Jayprakash Choudhary sir have stolen the show in the Interval and climax. Lead actres Suryamayee was also good in her role as well as new upcomers like Manmay and Sanoj. The second actress Divya plays a short role but that portion was not required. Watch and support odia cinema.

Good point: 1. Story & Concept are very good.👍 2. Performances by all cast is very good specially Choudhary Jayaprakash & Anubhav Mohanty' Climax sequence acting are extraordinary.👌 3. Music/BGM Rocking🤘 4. Action sence is good.

5. Direction by Anupam Pattnaik, he has proved again and again his work is so impressive and this time give extraordinary job and now we say about he is a Diamond 💎 for odia industry.💯 6. Camera work is fantastic & Art work fabulous.👌

Negetive points: 1. Screenplay could have been tighter.

2. Suspense are slightly predictbel.

3. Avoid some slow motion shorts special Intro action sence.
