Karma Cartel

Karma Cartel is a Multi-Award-winning, Avant-Garde, Indian (Malayalam film) debut feature film produced and directed by Vinod Bharathan. It is the first Indian film to be made following the Dogme 95 Manifesto set by Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg. However, few of the Dogme95 rules were broken for the theatrical release in India, as requested by the distributors for the film to appeal to the Indian box-office audience. The film is a modern day’s look at India’s growing economy and fast cash culture that the modern Indian youth are enticed by. Told through the actions of 6 people living different lives, the plot is interconnected through a single thread – easy money. The film follows a struggling actor and his foolish friend, who brings them into trouble, exposing an array of others who are also linked by the incident.
