Hold onto your martinis, because Raveena Tandon is back, and she’s not playing nice in Karmma Calling. Premiering on Disney+ Hotstar this January 26, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill revenge saga. Set in the luxurious corners of Alibaug, Karmma Calling plunges us into a world where wealth is woven with whispers and every poolside party hides a secret. Think of Alibaug as Mumbai’s ultra-chic escape — but here, the glamour comes with a sinister twist.
Raveena Tandon, taking on the role of the formidable Indrani Kothari, reigns over Alibaug’s elite from her sprawling Kothari estate. She’s more than just a social queen; she’s a storm wrapped in a silk saree, carrying secrets as layered as the decor in her palatial home. Enter Karmma Talwar (played by Namrata Sheth), the enigmatic new billionaire who breezes into town with designer suits and a glint of revenge in her eyes. But what’s lurking in her suitcase full of secrets?
Unmasking Mysteries: The Series Sets a New Bar for Glamorous Revenge
With all the flair of high fashion and the bite of a suspense thriller, Karmma Calling takes its time unraveling — just when you think you’re ahead, it snags you with a twist that keeps you glued. You’re four episodes in before you realize you’ve completely bought into this opulent world of intrigue.
Casting here is nothing short of perfect. Raveena Tandon’s Indrani is a force of nature, commanding every scene with the cool dominance of a seasoned queen bee. She’s not just the show’s lead; she’s its pulse, blending elegance with a dangerous edge that keeps you guessing at her every move.
Raveena’s Power Play: Karmma Calling Brings Glamour, Drama, and an Electric Rivalry
Namrata Sheth, as Karmma Talwar, is no lightweight either. Her on-screen chemistry with Raveena crackles, adding a fresh tension to the story. From their first encounter, you can feel the power struggle brewing, with Namrata’s performance matching Raveena’s — subtle yet fierce, calculated yet unpredictable.
And let’s not forget Varun Sood’s Ayaan, bringing a layer of charm and mystery to the plot, though we wish his character had more room to grow. Waluscha De Sousa as the deliciously detestable antagonist rounds out the cast, delivering a performance so conniving, it’s impossible not to root against her.

Every episode leaves you on the edge, daring you to press “Next.” But even as the drama unfolds at breakneck speed, Karmma Calling remains effortlessly stylish, never forcing you to focus too hard — the thrill simply seeps in.
