Kartavya (transl. Duty) is a 1995 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Raj Kanwar, starring Sanjay Kapoor and Juhi Chawla. Divya Bharti was initially chosen as the female lead; she had completed around 30 percent of the movie before her sudden death following a fall from her fifth-floor apartment. She was replaced by Juhi. Rediff.com found the film "embarrassing".[1]
Karan and Kajal are in love and ready to settle down and lead a happy life. But tragedy strikes as Karan's mother has a heart attack, and before she dies, Karan discovers that she was not his real mother. He is told that his actual mother is an heiress, Gayatri Singh, who lives in Sundernagar. Karan sets out for Sundernagar to confront her, and on reaching there, discovers the tragic story of his mother's life. Her stepbrother, Ugranarayan Singh, had killed her husband and had her confined in a mental asylum so that he could inherit all the wealth. Karan must now punish the people responsible for his mother's morbid state.
