Released last week in C.P. Berar and C.I., Popcorn Film’s Meri Maa Karma is the story of an atheist who starts believing in God.
Madhavi is a progressive urban woman who is an atheist. However, she witnesses the magical influence of Goddess Karma Mata on her newborn child when it faces health issues. Gradually, she becomes a believer.
Kousten Sahu has written a story and screenplay which are wafer-thin. The drama fails to move the audience emotionally. Even the dialogues (by Kousten Sahu) are routine.
Alka Amin does well. Cookies Swain is average. Bhagwan Tiwari passes muster. Debasmita Panda is ordinary. Omkar Das Manikpuri is just about passable. Himanshu Yadav does a routine job. Sheel Verma, Saanand Verma, Usha Nadkarni, Sunita Rajwar and Sahebdas Manikpuri lend average support.
Mrityunjay Singh’s direction is weak. Dev-Ashish’s music and background music are below the mark. Lyrics are commonplace. Aarushi Bageshwar’s camerawork is dull. Sunjana’s production designing is nothing to shout about. Vrushabh Panchal’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Meri Maa Karma has bleak chances at the ticket windows.
