Kartavya review :
Based on relatively unexplored issue of animal poaching, Kartavya was an out and out actioner starring Dharmendra, Rekha, Aruna Irani and Utpal Dutt in pivotal roles. In a first of sorts, Vinod Mehra played a negative character which frankly, didnt suit him even with that fake 'massa' to look evil.
It was actually Ranjeet who looked mighty convincing as Jacob, the driver who is discreetly on villain Dutt's payroll. They are poachers killing animals for their horns, tusks and skin...whatever sells in the international market. Dharam comes there as a forest officer and proves a tough nut to crack... Rekha has an interesting role of an informer going straight after falling for Garam Dharam's irresistible charm. Oh well!!
Kartavya was a decent actioner with some good stunts involving animals. The tiger fight is the film's highlight sequence which contributed significantly to its box office success. Rekha's sizzling number with Dharam was the other reason.
