Karmma Calling: destined to avenge!

The celebrity from the yesteryear Bollywood circle and now a giant among the corporate leaders, Indrani Kothari is nicnamed the Queen of the Billionaires by the wealthy elite. Reigning over the business world with her husband, Kaushal Kothari, from the beaches of Alibaug, she manages to instill a mixed sense of awe and severity for the Kothari clan among the minds of their acquaintances. Keeping a strict vigil over the richer sect of the social strata, she tries to keep a tight grip on her children as well. Thus, when a mysterious stranger entered her life, ripples in her balanced life was all but natural!
Little did she realise that the stranger who called herself Karma Talwar was actually Ambika Mehera, daughter of Satyajit Mehera, determined to avenge her father, wronged by the conniving Kotharis, that cost his life and respect and paved a sudden uncertain and apparently insecured future for the daughter. Targeting all who orchestrated the downfall of her father, Ambika starts to take down the culprits in her well laid traps. But danger lurks in every corner as domino effect causes unplanned accidents and threatens collateral damage.
With Ambika and Indrani fighting a psychological battle, the series actually blends drama with thrill.
Starting on a cliffhanger and winding up with a twist, the series promises a following season that should reveal what lay hidden behind the questions unanswered!
Adapting the theme with required yet simple acknowledgement from Revenge by Mike Kelley, the drama is directed by Ruchi Narain.
The pace is steady with quick resolutions but coincidences galore to keep it quite occassionally unrealistic.
Raveena Tandon is superb in her classy demeneour and Varoon Sood with his naively brawny features displays a perfect contrast. Special mention is due to Viraf Patel for his comic reliefs during his increasingly frequent significant appearances!
