Karma follows a conventional horror structure centered on individual struggle and supernatural retribution. The narrative focuses heavily on a male protagonist's personal journey and his relationship with his father-in-law, limiting the scope of the storytelling. While the film touches on the pressures of capitalism and economic instability, it does so through the lens of personal karma rather than exploring broader systemic issues. The lack of diverse casting and character archetypes keeps the film within standard genre expectations.
