5.0 out of 5 stars
Surprising And Engaging, September 19, 2011
Forget about the image on the DVD cover: this is not the typical sappy, glamorized RomCom you might expect. Unlike many Bollywood flicks, Karam actually has a good bit of violence and action in it (not like in some US movies, just enough to be engaging), and the story is interesting. John Abraham plays a hired killer for a crime lord, and after really, really screwing up (in a shocking twist, seriously), he wants out. But his boss isn't letting him off the hook so easily and forces him do "one last job", and that one's a biggie. John refuses to do it but when the crime lord kidnaps his wife (Priyanka Chopra), John is left with no choice...
Karam is well scripted, well acted, and well paced. Other than a few songs - which absolutely don't fit into the overall feel of this movie, but are pretty much mandatory in Bollywood productions - you may just be surprised about how dark and serious Karam is.
DVD quality itself is good. Amazon warns that this movie is manufactured "on demand" on a DVD-R. (What, like some guy is burning discs on his home computer?) However, it looked and played just like any regular DVD you'd buy from a mainstream manufacturer.
