Bawaal

When we think about Bollywood romance, flashes of classic SRK movies with vivid visuals and over-the-top caricatures immediately spring to our minds. However, the stylisation and the overall approach have evolved drastically and gradually moulded into a more relevant shape keeping our modern-day lifestyle and civilisation in mind. Albeit, the gist has remained identical. And thus, making every other romantic feature somewhat alike to some extent.

"Bawaal" attempts to break out of that norm!

While it uses some well-established tropes & cliches to lay the foundation of the lead couple, the kind of parallels it draws afterwards to build that relationship further is quite unmatched. Tracing way back to the horrific events of the Second World War, the story puts lots of effort to symbolise the difficulties and dilemmas of our minds to that of a time of absolute horror when all participating nations of the War and their innocent people went through inconceivable hardship and misfortune.

They endured Pain which is beyond comprehension.

Now such comparisons may come across as naive & pretentious to some people, and that is completely understandable cause it looks like Nitesh Tiwari (the director) wanted to tone down the actual severity of the circumstances so that his work could be widely accessible, thus resulting in a byproduct that lacks mandated sincerity and fervour.

Nevertheless, the tender chemistry between Varun and Janhvi made my two hours worthwhile. And I like that they both were committed to their roles and played their respective parts with utmost honesty and conviction and thereby making it one of the most interesting pieces of work coming from Bollywood.

Sameer lodaya.

The movie is one of the best combination of content ever found in Hindi movies

Nitesh once again came back with a unique concept with excellent direction after chhichhore here he offers you all the elements of a movie in nice crafted Combination..the movie has classic humour ,high emotions ,soft love story ,top notch performances, good songs and a great lesson on world war 2 with deep morals..some scenes were very touchy and gave goosebumps..the pace of the movie is slow which should be a matter to raise rest it is outstanding

The character of Varun which started as a fake guy with wrong attitudes and how he changes gradually till the end is played by him with all varieties of expression in a brilliant way.. janvis character from the start was very tender hearted with soft looks was marvellously played by her

The movie is meant to watch with all family members of all ages where everyone will get their share of entertainment by all means

The makers have perfectly targeted the ott audience which is classy and not masses but still a good addition to Bollywood dictionary.

With a usual story onboard Nitesh tiwari carefully masters the art of film making with some intelligent screenplay well supported by core team of Ashwini Iyer and piyush Sharma which adds some value added human emotions that strikes straight to the heart & thanks to 2nd world war without which this project is just another "BAWAAL" Mithesh mirchandani handles the visual grandeur for what it requires for a romedy flick while charu shree editing does a crispy work that keeps the soul of the movie flowing at a study pace... After a great work of "DANGAL" & underdog "CHICCHHORE" this flick does take a scenic route which is a Zara atke type for Nitesh movie but doesn't disappoint ... Overall it gets u a Midas touch to find happiness of what u have which concludes a strong recommendation for a typical ott movie based on expenses we spend on a single movie these days.

After a long time, a simple, feel good movie. It reminds us not to run after things you want, but to love and nurture what you have. It definitely brings good feeling of love and warmth between husband-wife relationship and once again make you fall in love with your spouse. The screenplay which is experimented, actually worked out and will get loved by the masses. It reminds you to live life in a simple way by loving people. All the characters were so beautifully portrayed, especially Varun and Janhvi in their leading roles. Direction, writing, screenplay, background scores - all were so good. Should have released out in theaters; a well deserving successful film!!!

Bawaal exceeded my expectations, proving to be a delightful surprise that left a lasting impression. Nitesh Tiwari adds another feather to his directorial cap with this captivating film.

The movie's strongest aspect was undoubtedly its compelling story, which held my attention from start to finish. Nitesh Tiwari's skillful storytelling techniques kept me engaged, and the well-crafted narrative unfolded beautifully on screen.

One of the highlights of Bawaal was Varun Dhawan's genuine and heartfelt acting. He effortlessly portrayed the character, infusing it with depth and emotion, making it easy for the audience to connect with him. Jahnvi Kapoor also left a mark with her noteworthy performance, ensuring her presence was felt throughout the entire movie.

The supporting cast, including the talented Manoj Pahwa, delivered stellar performances, adding layers of authenticity and charm.

The movie's impact was such that it deserves a theatrical release.
