Scrooge Reimagined: Indian Businessman Hates Christmas!
12 Dec
Summary
- Eshaan Sood, a London-based Indian businessman, dislikes Christmas festivities.
- The film reimagines Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' with a musical twist.
- Kunal Nayyar stars as the bitter businessman, with Eva Longoria and Billy Porter.
Gurinder Chadha's "Christmas Karma" offers a contemporary take on "A Christmas Carol," centering on Eshaan Sood, a London-based Indian businessman portrayed by Kunal Nayyar. Sood, a modern-day Scrooge, despises Christmas cheer, withholding bonuses and firing staff. His cold demeanor extends to his personal life, even refusing his nephew's invitation to a Christmas party.
The narrative unfolds on Christmas Eve when Sood is visited by the ghost of his former friend, Marley. This spectral encounter warns him of impending damnation and announces the imminent arrival of the ghosts of his past, present, and future. Over the film's runtime, these spirits guide Sood through pivotal life events, including personal loss and heartbreak, to understand his bitterness.
