The film's soundtrack, crafted by six-time Ivor Novello award-winning singer-songwriter Gary Barlow, alongside Shaznay Lewis and Nitin Sawhney, is set to be a musical extravaganza, blending influences from Gospel, Bhangra, Carols, and classic pop songs.

Chadha expressed her vision for the film, aiming to create a festive classic that resonates with audiences across generations, much like the beloved 'It's a Wonderful Life'. She envisions 'Christmas Karma' as a heartwarming tale with universal appeal.

Reflecting on his role, Kunal Nayyar shared his excitement to explore the immigrant experience through the lens of a beloved holiday narrative. He believes the film will strike a chord with audiences, echoing themes of home and belonging.
