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.

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.

Those who always say, Odia films are not upto standards, and are always a copy of Tamil or Hindi films, please go and watch KARMA.

It's a gripping thriller movie about "karma and karma ra phala".

Story Highlights - * Gripping screenplay * 1 plot twist pre interval * 3 plot twists in last 30 minutes (Don't leave in a hurry. The twists just keep coming till the last reel.)

Acting Highlights - * Amazing ensemble cast - the guys who play the cops, and the 1 veteran stage actor who plays the graveyard caretaker * Anubhav Mohanty - usual super star style befitting his fandom expectations (as usual some may think he is a bit overacting at times). But you cannot deny his amazing screen presence and personality

Production Highlights- * Amazing direction and camera angles * the background music is it's super strength, which elevated every scene * locations - shot mainly in and around Twin City (including a Church at Cantonment Road Cuttack) are amazing

Songs - * Amazing music by new music director * 2 chartbuster songs

If anyone has ever had any complaint about Odia film standards up until now, then please go and watch Karma. Your perception will change.

BTW this movie is Produced and Directed by Anupam Pattnaik, who earlier produced a 2023 National Award winning movie.

"KARMA" is a gripping thriller that stands out as one of the best Odia films in recent years. The story keeps you engaged with suspense and unexpected twists, though it feels a bit lengthy at times. The character William D'Souza is the highlight of the movie, with his powerful performance (special in interval) leaving a lasting impression. The background music is exceptional, enhancing the tension and adding depth to key moments. Despite its length, "Karma" delivers a thrilling experience, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre. This film is a significant step forward for the Odia industry. In the last this the fresh content.
