Kartam Bhugtam Review: Madhoo & Shreyas Talpade’s film is just another revenge drama with nothing particularly noteworthy to offer

Review of Kartam Bhugtam: Soham Shah is a director of films that include Kaal and Luck. Though he obviously sought to offer viewers something different in his flicks, both of them fell flat at the box office. Because the trailer for his movie Kartam Bhugtam didn’t reveal much about the plot, we were curious to see what the movie was about. However, as they say, we shouldn’t judge a movie by its trailer and a book by its cover. So, is it worth your time and money to buy Kartam Bhugtam? Read our review below to find out.

In the film, a man named Dev (played by Shreyas Talpade) travels to India from abroad in order to sell his father’s estate. However, a number of obstacles arise along the process, and he is unable to resolve them, so things don’t proceed as planned. When he sees Anna (Vijay Raaz), an astrologer, she gives him some advice that he should heed, and before long, everything begins to work in Dev’s advantage. However, Dev quickly turns into the astrologer’s mindless slave, which has an adverse effect on his mental state. The remainder of the narrative is told by what occurs after that.

When the Kartam Bhugtam trailer was first published, it appeared to be mostly on astrology and superstitions that people adhere to. Although that is the main focus of the first part of the movie, the second part takes a completely different turn and becomes a vengeance drama in the vein of Abbas-Mustan.

Although the film begins slowly, it soon speeds up, and the intermission scene will definitely have you curious about what will happen next. But the second part doesn’t hold our interest. The curves and bends are very obvious. It’s a drama about retribution, and Dev’s character is handling everything with ease. Perhaps this would have been a great movie to watch if the second half had had a stronger writing and narration.

Actors Kartam Bhugtam’s Performances

As Dev, Shreyas Talpade gave a sincere performance. It’s nice to see him in a new role as he typically appears in comedic flicks. In his capacity, Vijay Raaz has performed admirably. With this film, Madhoo makes her return to Hindi cinema, and while her performance is commendable, we question why she was cast in such a caricature of a role. However, Aksha Pardasany is the one who really steals the show in the movie. The actor is highly confident in her acting and has a fantastic on-screen presence. Should you happen to view this film, you will undoubtedly like Aksha’s performance.

Final Decision on the Kartam Bhugtam Review

After seeing the trailer, Kartam Bhugtam is not what one would anticipate it to be overall. Naturally, it attempts to convey the lessons that “what goes around, comes around” and “life is karma,” but we have already seen plenty of vengeance thrillers. It so presents nothing novel.

Post Kanguva debacle, Tamil Nadu producers demand ban of YouTube channels from theatres

This decision comes after the release of Kanguva on November 14, which saw a lot of negative feedback on the opening day from YouTube reviews.

On Wednesday, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council (TNPC) issued a strong statement requesting theatre owners to ban fans’ interviews by YouTube channels on theatre premises post the first day first shows (FDFS) and cooperate in doing away with this FDFS public review and opinion process completely.

In a long four-page letter, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council has condemned ‘personal attacks and incitement of hatred in the name of film reviews.’ They said that films like Indian 2, Vettaiyan and Kanguva were highly impacted due to YouTube FDFS public reviews.

What the letter stated

This letter comes after the release of Suriya’s film Kanguva on November 14 which saw a tremendous amount of negative feedback from the audience in the first day first show YouTube reviews and opinion videos. The TNPC wrote that journalists have the right to criticise flaws in the film and talk about the positives and negatives but no one can engage in personal attacks and try to destroy the entire film in their reviews. According to them, this would lead to the downfall of the film industry itself.

The letter also stated, “Critics have every right to review movies. But we request all journalists to write film reviews keeping in mind that hatred towards a film should not be sown in the media because of personal malice. It is imperative that all the associations related to the film industry unite and stop this practice by not encouraging them anymore.”

More details

Kerala was the first state to establish this ban on YouTube reviews. In 2023, Mubeen Rauf, director of Aromalinte Adyathe Pranayam, who was supported by the Producers’ Association filed a case in court to ban YouTube reviewers from theatre premises as their negative public opinion videos were affecting the film business.

The Kerala High Court then issued a directive to the concerned authorities to prevent online reviews of films by social media influencers, YouTube reviewers, and bloggers for seven days following the release of a film.

The court went a step further and even issued notice to the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Board of Film Certification to establish clear and transparent guidelines for online film critics and vloggers. Producers felt this move would protect the industry.
