About Awaargi
Azad (Anil Kapoor), a mob enforcer who rescues the lovely Meena (Meenakshi Seshadri) from a brothel against the orders of both his boss and a rival gang leader. He vows to help her become a singer, and enlists Dhiren (Govindra) to help her, but things become complicated when both men fall for Meena--and the gangsters decide they want her back.
Directed by Mahesh Bhatt, Awaargi leans on a strong ensemble — Anil Kapoor, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Govinda — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1990.
