Christmas Karma (U)

From Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha, Christmas Karma transforms Charles Dickens’ classic novel A Christmas Carol into a joyous, feel-good musical celebrating modern-day London and all its vibrant communities and cultures.

With an all-star cast including Hugh Bonneville, Danny Dyer and Eva Longoria, and music by Gary Barlow, Nitin Sawhney and All Saints’ Shaznay Lewis, the film features an eclectic soundtrack influenced by gospel, bhangra, carols, rap and classic pop. You will not be able to sit still! Told in Chadha’s own distinctive style, Christmas Karma explores themes of prejudice, acceptance, reconciliation, identity and belonging.

It’s a warm-hearted festive treat with a seasonal message of being kind, choosing love and celebrating the present.
