Karam (transl.Blessing) is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by cinematographer Sanjay F. Gupta, in his directorial debut. Starring John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Bharat Dabholkar, the film follows John Wargas, a professional assassin who ends up unintentionally killing an innocent family during a mission and becomes traumatized, eventually tendering his resignation. This does not go down well with his boss, who kidnaps John's wife and holds her hostage. In order to win back her freedom, John must complete one last job: killing some of the city's top men within a limited period of time. The film co-stars Vishwajeet Pradhan, Shiney Ahuja, Murli Sharma, Rajesh Khera and Aanjjan Srivastav. Having directed several music videos, Gupta decided to direct the film after being impressed with the script written by Suparn Verma. Confirming that it was not inspired by any Hong Kong film, Gupta decided to do his own take on it despite feeling the script was not novel. With a strong feeling that John Abraham suited the role from the beginning, Gupta cast him as the lead alongside Priyanka Chopra, and named the protagonist after Abraham. Producer Harry Baweja revealed the film was based on a true story and shot entirely in Mumbai. Karam was released theatrically on 11 March 2005, opening to mixed reviews from critics and audiences. It was a commercial failure both domestically and overseas. In 2011 during an interview for his film Force, John Abraham revealed a number of people came up and told him Karam was their favorite film.
