Gurinder Chadha is currently gearing up for the release of her latest film, Christmas Karma, on December 12, 2025. It is being presented by PVRINOX Pictures. Opening up about the movie and the inspirations behind it, the filmmaker recalls how her festivities begin with a cherished family ritual.

She says, “For me, Christmas begins with my annual family tradition, where I take my children to watch It’s A Wonderful Life at the Prince Charles Cinema in London. Every year I cry buckets at the end while being moved by its life affirming message. That love for classic holiday storytelling inspired Christmas Karma. She adds, “[This film is] My ode to Dickens and Capra with a contemporary twist.”

Interestingly, the film explores what Christmas truly means in today’s divided world and how kindness, empathy and hope can still bridge hearts. Infused with Sikh philosophy, Chadha adds, “‘Living is Giving’ is part of the teachings of Guru Nanak and Sikhism. Being a Sikh, the core message of ‘Ek On Khar’ (We are all one) resonates heavily for me in the making of my film.”
