Karma Review: What’s Good, What’s Bad

In Odisha, it is believed that people mostly watch movies during the Raja festival and Dussehra. During this festive season, four Odia films—Karma, Durga, Villain, and Khoka Bhai Tama Pain—have hit the big screens.

Amiya Patnaik Production’s Karma was released in theaters on October 9, on the occasion of Dussehra. The film stars Odia cine superstar Anubhav Mohanty as Amar Patnaik, the chief of a special investigation team. Karma marks the maiden collaboration between popular director Anupam Patnaik and Anubhav Mohanty.

The story revolves around special investigating officer Amar Patnaik. Anubhav Mohanty (Amar Patnaik), an encounter specialist, becomes entangled in family problems while solving crime cases. The film opens with a dramatic entry of Anubhav Mohanty, showcasing his character, and ends with how karma ultimately strikes back at everyone. The movie emphasizes the idea that one is rewarded or punished for their good or bad deeds.

Karma is a perfect blend of suspense, thriller, and drama. Although Anubhav Mohanty’s performance dips in a few scenes, Karma will leave a lasting positive mark on his acting career.

Moreover, the Odia film industry has discovered a new gem in Manmay Dey. Previously seen in YouTube videos and commercials, Manmay Dey’s debut in Karma is sure to bring good fortune to his acting career.
