这是一部虚构的政治恐怖电影。一九八四年,在经历一系列战争和合并后,世界只存在三个超级大国了——大洋国、东亚国和欧亚国。温斯顿(约翰•赫特 John Hurt 饰)生活在老大哥统治下的大洋国,这里,和其他两国一样,到处都安装着电幕(一种类似电视机的监视器),每个人都生活都在党的思想警察的监视下,历史完全按照党的需要每天都被改写。
虽然无法说出为什么,作为外围党员的温斯顿从心里厌恶老大哥。一日,他偷偷从一家陈年杂货铺处买了一本日记本——原则上党不允许写日记,表达个人思想——开始写日记。当他和在小说司工作的裘莉亚(苏珊娜•汉密尔顿 Suzanna Hamilton 饰)违反党的政策开始秘密偷情时,思想警察悄悄盯上了他。
Saif Ali Khan, who will be seen playing a cop, shared his excitement, “Kartavya, which is really great, produced by Shah Rukh's company Red Chillies Entertainment, is going to come out soon. It's a lovely piece by director Pulkit, and really happy that too is coming out on Netflix.”
The film also features an ensemble cast including Rasika Duggal, Sanjay Mishra, Saurabh Dwivedi, Zakir Hussain, and Manish Chaudhari.
Team Kartavya shared - “Kartavya marks the second collaboration between Red Chillies Entertainment, Netflix, and director Pulkit, following Bhakshak. As a team, we are committed to telling stories that push creative boundaries and resonate deeply, and Kartavya is a powerful reflection of that vision. Set in the heartland, the film explores the complex intersections of law, family, truth, and duty, with Saif delivering remarkable depth and intensity in a morally layered character. We are delighted to partner with Netflix on this journey and look forward to audiences across the world experiencing this gripping and compelling narrative.”
With Kartavya, Red Chillies Entertainment adds another title to its growing slate of content created for global audiences, aligning with Netflix’s vision of showcasing powerful Indian stories to viewers worldwide.
