    Independent Filmmaker-Thriller

    Directed by Kartik Swaminathan Independent & first time Filmmaker from "New York Film Academy"; "Karma Strikes" is a Great Thriller. Having a new star cast , you may have to be patient for the first 20 mins until the movie takes over. I was pleasantly surprised to see how this first time Director was able to get such fine performances from his first time actors Amit, Yuvradnyee & Puja. Amongst songs notably "Khalipan" is brilliantly shot & stands out. Its a thriller having a hue of Romance, such complex subject handled with such flair. Recommended watch.

    An impressive debut with a rollercoaster of emotions, great character development, and a genre-defying plot - a cinematic gem that leaves you wanting more.

    The movie didn't in any way looked like it was a product of a debutant director. Had me hooked al the way and there was no lag at all.

    It had all the emotions packed - love, anger, fear, lust, hopelessness, joy, fatherhood, revenge, acceptance and humour.

    Every character is built very well and actors have justified them too. Especially the lead character played by Amit, such a matured acting for a debutant actor.

    This plot is One of the very few where you could not fit it into one genre. Great cinematography, music and editing LOVED THEM ALL!

    KEEP GOING AND KEEP GIVING US MANY SUCH MOVIES!!!

    A testament to the power of cinema...

    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.

    Gripping movie & interesting twists

    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.
