Kartoos is a 1999 Bollywood 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 (film) which in turn a remake of French film Nikita where Bridget Fonda essays a role very similar to that of Sanjay Dutt. The film was remade in Tamil as Paramasivan (2006).

A cop ACP Jay Suryavanshi(Jackie Shroff) trains a criminal Raja(Sanjay Dutt) to eliminate underworld don Jagat Jogia (Gulshan Grover). Jay performs a surgery and implants a transmitter in Raja's leg when he meets with an accident. So whenever Raja goes, Jay can track Raja's movements. Raja falls in love with Mini, even though he was not 'allowed' to fall in love by Jay. Raja shoots Mini by mistake and when she survives, he admits to her his real identity that actually he is not Raja, but Jeet.

Given by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Anu Malik and Bally Sagoo.
