Karam (2005) Reviews
Superb story and Good acting
What made me feel good after watching this movie was ... a good story and brilliant acting.. specially Priyanka Chopra has done a very good job... she is the lady who knows what acting is.... and no doubt if she will be the next bollywood queen... John Abraham has also done a very good job playing the character of a hit-man... all together a good movie to watch ... worth the time... And I think after a long time had bollywood came up with such a brilliant movie I don't know why such movies are not liked by the Indian audience... they go in for crap... I would say that Karam has got a good story, good acting and screenplay, but still this movie did not do much business ... sad to hear that... Indian audience ... wake up plzzzzz....

Sanjay Gupta, Truly did his best!! Cinematography: Oh My God i was AWED by that The Composition Was PERFECT!! Music: The Music was Great, Vishal Shekhar Showed Their Techniques as Master Musicians, The Song Tinka Tinka, Has a Soft Groovy Effect to it, The Song Tera hi Karam, Was Brilliant!!! When i watched the film MY EYES were Hooked From Start to End You Will Find it Very Brilliantly Directed Even though I'm writing about this 2 years later but it is Definitely Worth Buying Go and Grab a Copy of the DVD out on EROS
Escaping the mob is harder than it seems.
Bollywood crowds were not pleased with this film. For good reason of course. This movie breaks out of the regular tradition of song, dance and predictable drama and creates a movie rarely seen in the Bollywood industry. The direction was amazing. The movie was inspired by many action movies from the past but what makes it different is its setting and culture. Very few Hindi movies have been made with such openness and innovation. If you want a new twist on a classic story watch Karam. It will blends elements of Bollywood and American action. Its an entertaining watch if nothing else. Some scenes are a little graphic but they are not gratuitous. Also, the casting was excellent.
One of my most favourite films
Karam is a very, very interesting story told in a stylish format. It was so emotionally & psychologically thrilling, the whole movie is charged with pulse pounding suspense and made so dark & sinister that gives you the tensive mood for the film. Inspired from Collateral & Kill Bill. The best Bollywood movie in 2005. Sanjay F. Gupta made a terrific film for his first attempt he only made one film so far but still he is one of my favourite directors. He was a cinematographer of Qayamat, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Zinda. The story is mentioned in the plot summery and also by other comment users. Karam has probably the best cinematography in any Bollywood movie, which suits the mood e.g. the flashback scene of John's first kill, was in animation, black and white for John's dream and sepia for the song Tera Hi Karam when he was in huge depression. The animated scene was in black and white the only colour was blood. The main menu of the DVD is wavy, green. The best scenes in the film has to be the: 1. Animated scene. 2. When John was trying to save his wife he was wearing dark sunglasses and black gloves. 3. Where he was in the club during the song Ishq Nachaya Kare dressed like Eric Draven in The Crow and he killed the first man in his hit list. Songs are excellent without a doubt every song is good the best ones probably are Tinka Tinka and Ishq Nachaya Kare. I also noticed a goof when John received his wife's finger it was a full finger but when he was talking to her on the phone after the song Ishq Nachaya Kare her finger was half cut.
Theme illustrated magnificently!
This movie is definitely one of the best Indian breakthrough films of 2005. The protagonist of the film, John Abraham, is actually a negative character. Playing the role of a hit-man, he has a long history of sins. He finally realizes the enormity of his wrongdoings after accidentally killing a small girl during a mission. Although his spiritual awakening does help him to some extent, his numerous murders do not let him live in peace. In a constant struggle to start life afresh, it is extremely interesting to see how his past deeds catch up to him. John gives a good performance. Priyanka is also great in her small role. The climactic monologue and visuals are beautiful. Cinematography is excellent. "Tinka Tinka" is a very beautiful song. "Tera Hi Karam" is a great track with an awesome, shocking, and eye-opening video displaying the theme of the movie. The theme is portrayed magnificently as the movie does a good job in showing how all the characters' karma dictates the degree of suffering they must endure in their life and/or death.
