Gawaahi review :
An unconventional courtroom drama inspired from The Night of January 16th by Ayn Rand; Gawaahi was Anant Balani's directorial debut featuring Zeenat Aman, Shekhar Kapur and Ranjeeta Kaur in lead roles. Director Ashutosh Gowariker also appears in a small but pivotal role.
Touted as Zeenat's comeback after a brief hiatus in the '80s, the film didnt benefit her as it flopped at the box office. Having said that, Gawaahi is a highly engaging crime drama with great performance from Zeenat. Her chemistry with Shekhar Kapur was absolutely sizzling and their soft romance to the Pankaj Udhas number "Dekh ke tumko kya hota hai; kuch na bataayenge" is truly scintillating. Zeenat's fans shouldn't miss it for sure.
Unfortunately, Gawaahi is not available online except for a bad abridged print on YouTube. I sincerely request the producers to give this underrated gem an OTT release for Hindi movie buffs who dont know about it. A film ahead of its time which deserves a watch today!!
