There are actors who play cops, after which there’s Saif Ali Khan. It was in 2018, when OTT was not everyone’s cup of tea however the man began ruling as Sartaj Singh in Sacred Games. And since then, he has been winning with whatever he has done on OTT. He guarantees the identical along with his upcoming title on Netflix – Kartavya. The trailer has been dropped and Nawab of Pataudi is all set to impress along with his Khakee avatar!
But this isn’t your Singham’s intense cop or Dabangg’s flamboyant cop. This one is brooding, bleeding, growling, fighting, at times failing, and more often than not struggling, but chanting Mahakaal’s name with a madness that you might have seen before in Langda Tyagi!
Safi Ali Khan is at his best when he’s barely unhinged. In Kartavya, he seems to play a cop whose devotion is as fiery as his temper. The whole lot seems to work in his favor – right from his look to his accent! The cop drama looks more brutal and raw, where every frame is hitting your intrigue well enough!
Nonetheless, we’ve seen a whole lot of rogue cops with family issues recently, and surely Saif Ali Khan brings a fresh intensity – the blueprint seems too repetitive – struggling officer, personal vendetta, system against him. Hope it doesn’t make you see the identical story for the one thousandth time!
The story of Kartavya follows Pawan (Khan), a police officer under intense scrutiny after failing to guard a journalist who’s shot while under his watch. As pressure mounts from his senior officers, Pawan is drawn right into a relentless manhunt for the assailant, one which pulls him deep into an internet of power, influence, and deception.
At the identical time, his personal life begins to unravel as his family is threatened over a dispute involving his brother, pulling Pawan into conflict each inside the system and at home. Because the case deepens, he finds himself torn between duty and family, where every alternative carries a value.
Take a look at the trailer of Kartavya here.
Produced by Gauri Khan under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment, Kartavya is directed by Pulkit. The film will probably be streaming on Netflix from May 15, 2026.
