Karma

"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.

'Karma', directed by Anupam Patnaik, breathes new life into Odia cinema, presenting a mix of gripping storytelling, stellar performances, and a soundtrack that packs a punch. As a fan of Anubhav Mohanty, my excitement for this film was inevitable, but the movie transcends mere star appeal to deliver a truly engaging experience. Manas Padhiary's writing ensures that the narrative is both tight and full of unexpected turns, keeping the audience on edge until the credits roll.

Wishing Anubhav, Suryamayee, Choudhury Jayaprakash Das, Sanoj, Divya, Manmay, and Nishant immense success and accolades for their stellar performances in Karma-may this film be a milestone in your already shining careers, taking each of you to new heights of stardom and recognition!

One of the film's strongest aspects is its grounded, realistic approach, a refreshing deviation from the more fantastical elements often seen in regional cinema. The plot unravels through a series of well-crafted twists, making each development feel earned. Ashish Pradhan's background score enhances this with a South Indian flair, adding an intensity to key scenes that raises the stakes, especially in moments of high emotion. The dance numbers, meanwhile, are vibrant and catchy, already taking social media by storm and securing their place in the wider pop culture conversation. The comedy is another standout, with natural humor that feels authentic to everyday life, giving the film a relatable, lived-in quality.

However, despite these strengths, the movie stumbles a bit in the first half. The pacing before the intermission feels sluggish at times, and the central concept of karma could have been explored with a bit more finesse. The action sequences, while entertaining, could have been more meaningfully tied to the theme, showing the karmic justice at play in a deeper, more nuanced way. Scenes that linked the criminals' fates to their past wrongdoings, especially in connection to the personal lives of the police officers, could have enhanced the emotional depth. A more detailed exploration of the mystery, particularly around the murder weapon and the death it caused, might have added even more intrigue. A postmortem scene that raised doubts or added layers to the case would have been a welcome addition-perhaps something to be explored in a potential sequel, Karma II.

That being said, "Karma" is still a must-watch. Its flaws are minor compared to the larger success of the film as a whole, and I look forward to watching it again. How about you? Have you seen it yet? If not, it's worth your time!

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.
