As someone who grew up watching Bollywood in the US, Karma was my introduction to Indian cinema. The ensemble cast was phenomenal! Dilip Kumar and Anupam Kher's scenes together were pure gold.

The music of Karma was another highlight! "Dil Diya Hai Jaan Bhi Denge" still gives me goosebumps. Laxmikant-Pyarelal created magic. Wish we had such powerful soundtracks in today's films too.

While I appreciate the nostalgia, we should also acknowledge how films have evolved. The over-the-top villain tropes in Karma feel dated now. But yes, it was trendsetting for its time!

My parents' generation worshipped this film! The scene where Dilip Kumar slaps Dr. Dang is etched in Bollywood history. Subhash Ghai truly knew how to create larger-than-life cinema. Missing such powerful storytelling today 💔

The film's theme of karma coming full circle was so well executed. Also, can we appreciate young Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff's energy? They brought such freshness to the veteran cast. #GoldenEraOfBollywood
