Kartoos (lit. Cartridge) is a 1999 Indian Hindi action film directed by Mahesh Bhatt and starring Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff and Manisha Koirala. It is the last release of Mahesh Bhatt as a director. The film borrows its plot idea from the 1993 film Point of No Return, which in turn is a remake of the French film Nikita, where Bridget Fonda essays a role very similar to that of Sanjay Dutt.[1] The film did decent business at the box office, after the film's success it was remade in Tamil as Paramasivan (2006).

Plot

A cop ACP Jay Suryavanshi (Jackie Shroff) trains a criminal Raja (Sanjay Dutt) to eliminate underworld don Jagat Jogia (Gulshan Grover).[2] Jay performs a surgery and implants a transmitter in Raja's leg when he meets with an accident. So whenever Raja travels, Jay can track his movements (even when he is in the UK). Raja falls in love with Mini (Manisha Koirala), even though he was not 'allowed' to fall in love by Jay. Raja kills Jagat Jogia and his gang and is finally set free by Jay and lives with Mini happily.
