    What a combination

    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.

    A sensitively handled love story !! Truely Bawaal!!

    Film Review: Bawaal Streaming on Prime Video #sanjuzzreviews #Bawaal #primevideoindia #varundhawan #janhvikapoor

    Bawaal , directed by Nitish Tiwari is the story of Ajay ( Varun Dhawan) & Nisha(Janhvi Kapoor) set in Lucknow. Ajay is a self obsessed, narcissistic teacher who is only concerned about his image in society. He treats his newly wedded wife Nisha very badly as she suffers from epilepsy and he considers her a "defective piece". In a last ditch effort to save her marriage, Nisha takes a trip with Ajay to Europe and sparks off events that change their lives forever!!

    The direction by Nitish Tiwari is awesome and he brings the love story to life with great cinematography, a decent music score & a fantastic chemistry between Dhawan and Kapoor. Their love story is handled with great sensitivity & will surely touch your heart !!

    Both lead actors have given inspired performances. A fine balance between comedy and emotional scenes is maintained very well all throughout. A fun filled cameo by the boisterous Gujju Gang who provide some well needed comic relief deserves a mention too!!

    Even though the narrative seems to slow down at times, the film is very relatable and will appeal to lovers of the ROMCOM genre.

    Going with 3/5 for the film + 0.5 star for the superb acting by the lead pair !! .. Adios 🙂!!

    Bad female lead selection

    Everything about this movie is good (above average). The director is great, the lead male actor has done justice to his role (he is tailor made for this type of character actually, no surprise he will do excellent job).

    Story is not typical, although the ways the story beings is too much unrealistic. After that it has followed a very good route - it has some ideas to share with you and audience should really be able to relate to the storylines.

    The reason I gave 6 instead of 7 or 8, is the heroine. As the female character is also having significant role in this movie, it would be wiser to choose someone who can actually do some acting.

    Absolute beauty comes with minor imperfections!

    Just finished watching this film. I went in despite the bad reviews I read and I'm so glad that I watched this beautifully curated story.

    ' To accept and be happy with what you actually are, rather than worrying and comparing yourself to others' is all that it wants to say. Some films are to be watched with all your heart and an open mind. Today, we are working mindlessly to present an image of ourselves in front of this world. But in the end, all that's going to remain is the truth. So why not accept it?

    The message that they are giving us is so much more important than the minor flaws in the screenplay. I absolutely loved it with all its small imperfections. Go for it, you won't be disappointed.

    Love story but with different angle

    Earlier I thought it's just an ordinary love story but when I started to watch I was hooked with the creativity shown in this movie. I will not say that it is outstanding but this movie you can watch for different taste and will change your perspective towards things and life that is enough for today's audience. Varun Dhawan done his good job but I think most of recent movies are same if you will look back like jug jug jeeyo is the recent. Jhanvi done decent job, other characters also have a good impact in this family drama but I will only give credit to director who have tried different and out come is good.
