Karma Strikes, directed by visionary filmmaker Kartik Swaminathan Venkatraman, delivers a riveting and thought-provoking cinematic experience that seamlessly blends elements of drama, suspense, and psychological thriller. The film unfolds with a captivating narrative that delves into the intricate web of human morality and the consequences of our actions.

Karma Strikes is not just a film; it's a philosophical exploration of the choices we make and their reverberating impact on our lives. The screenplay prompts contemplation on the thin line between right and wrong, good and evil. As the plot unfolds, the audience is compelled to question their own beliefs about justice and retribution.

The cast delivers standout performances that contribute to the overall brilliance of the ensemble and the chemistry between the actors adds authenticity to the relationships portrayed on screen.

A minor critique could be the film's reliance on certain genre conventions, which might feel familiar to seasoned moviegoers. However, this is overshadowed by the narrative depth and the exceptional execution of these conventions.

In conclusion, Karma Strikes is a triumph in storytelling, offering a compelling narrative that transcends the boundaries of its genre. With stellar performances, masterful direction, and a narrative that lingers long after the credits roll, this film is a testament to the power of cinema to provoke thought and evoke a range of emotions. It is a must-watch for anyone seeking a cinematic experience that goes beyond mere entertainment.

Accolades for the first time director Kartik. A well written & directed movie. The story is very gripping and keeps you engrossed through the movie. Unexpected twists and turns are really nice. The characters are well chosen and play appropriate part and the story is at a good pace. Music is decent and soothing. Shot across US & India, the movie tries to capture the cultural perspective quite well and is an interesting family drama with lots of surprise elements. The movie as the name suggests, brings out the past karmas and its effects in life good or bad striking wihin one's lifetime. Overall a good watch.

'Karma Strikes', a riveting debut film by Kartik, captures the allure and pitfalls of debauchery, the Karmic retribution it entails, and the drastic atonement ('Prayaschit) it warrants for cathartic salvation as a finale. A compelling story well depicted with nuanced direction and emotive performance by the cast that is well accentuated with soothing music seamlessly woven through the scenes.

Amit Mishra, Yuvdanyee, and Puja deliver an engaging performance. Special mention to Amit for his nuanced portrayal of altering emotions, the love for his daughter, the entrapment in illicit affair, and the escalating quandary. The mellow music with good lyrics, and an element of pathos is soulful, in particular 'Khalipan' and 'Naye raaste'.

The film conveys the caveat that a fatal attraction can be inextricably fatal!

All the characters in this movie have been exceptionally well considering all of them are new comers. The lead actors have given thrilling performance. Supporting actors have performed so effortlessly.

Movie will kept you entertaining till the end and hook you throughout. The music and the songs are fresh and melody.

This is directed by a very talented friend kartik. He is born to direct movies as he simply lives within art entertainment circles. A lot of hard work has been put through this movie.

This is his first movie and shoutout for choosing the thriller drama as his first one.

Overall the movie is captivating and a must watch for a new director Kartik and Actor Amit.
