Karthavyam (trans:Duty) is a 1990 Indian Telugu-language political action film directed by Mohan Gandhi, starring Vijayashanti. Written by Paruchuri Brothers, the film is loosely based on the real-life story of police officer Kiran Bedi.[2]

Made on a budget of ₹90 lakh, the film was a commercial success, grossing over ₹7 crore.[1] Vijayashanti won the National Film Award as Best Actress for her performance in this film. The film was premiered at the 14th International Film Festival of India in the mainstream section.[3]

The film was subsequently dubbed into Tamil as Vyjayanthi IPS, which was also successful at the box office.[4][5] The film was remade in Hindi as Tejaswini (1994) with Vijayashanti reprising her role, and later in Tamil as Bhavani (2011).[6]
