Karmakhya is a 2026 Telugu crime thriller written and directed by Abhinaya Krishna and produced under My Film Productions, with debutant Samaira in the lead alongside Samuthirakani, Abhirami, Anand and Sharanya Pradeep. It was made under the title Kamakhya, which was changed before release. It opened in theatres on 31 July 2026 and has been streaming on Aha since 1 October 2026.

What the story is about

Kaamakhya agrees to help her friend Pravillika, who wants to attend a family wedding, by going to meet one of Pravillika’s clients in her place. That decision turns her life upside down, and the story follows what happens to her and the parts played by Sub-Inspector Tirupathi, Sarojini and her husband, and others around her. Cinejosh notes that the film opens with the importance of the Kamakhya Shakti Peetham in Guwahati. The director has described it as a crime thriller with a divine element linked to the goddess, not a devotional film.

Crew and the title change

Kushender Ramesh Reddy shot the film, Gyaani composed the background score and Sree Varaprasad edited it. At the trailer launch, reported by Cinema Express, Abhinaya Krishna said the original title Kamakhya had to be changed for unavoidable reasons after much of the promotion was done, and that he chose Karmakhya from suggestions sent by the public. Vijayashanti attended the event and asked audiences to support small films.

What critics said

Cinejosh praised Samaira’s spirited debut and Abhirami’s intensity, and credited the cinematography and Gyaani’s score. It found the first half slow, the comedy track ineffective and the editing loose, but felt the racy second half, twists and climax lift the film.
