The promo for 'Christmas Karma,' the newest film from director Gurinder Chadha, debuted on the Times Square screens with a high-visibility launch designed to drive early audience engagement.
The reveal was amplified by a live performance from Masala Bhangra Group Fitness, supported by a dhol player, creating a targeted cultural moment in the center of New York City.
Featuring Kunal Nayyar, Eva Longoria, Billy Porter, Boy George, and a supporting cast including Danny Dyer, Leo Suter, Pixie Lott, Charithra Chandran, and Hugh Bonneville, the film positions itself as a large-scale holiday musical for broad audiences.

The cast and crew also marked the release with a red-carpet premiere in London, reinforcing the film’s global rollout strategy.
Directed through Chadha’s established lens, 'Christmas Karma' reimagines Charles Dickens’ 'A Christmas Carol' as a contemporary, multicultural musical set in present-day London. The film explores themes of identity, prejudice, reconciliation, and belonging while maintaining the emotional core of Dickens’ original work.
Inspired in part by 'It’s A Wonderful Life', the film promotes messages of kindness, reflection, and community during the holiday season.
'Christmas Karma' is screening exclusively in cinemas from Nov. 14.
