Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint If this sounds far-fetched it is. Bawaal is what happens when a breezy Imtiaz Ali romantic travelogue crashes into a speeding German tragicomedy. Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Emily Tamkin Slate Bawaal is vapid, at best, and at worst callous in its indifference to anything beyond the surface. Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion It trivializes an unimaginable horror. Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion A clear-eyed misfire. Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Lachmi Deb Roy Firstpost I am not saying that Bawaal is a movie that doesn’t need to be watched. But at the same time, being a Nitesh Tiwari film, I believe that it could have done better. Rated: 3/5 Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Sakhi Thirani Common Sense Media This romantic drama directed by Nitesh Tiwari is disappointing and problematic in equal measure. Rated: 1/5 Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Arnab B Watched with 0 expectations and actually didn't bored me like other bollywood romantic movies. I'll recommend for one time watch for this time pass movie with a short positive message. This movie is just recieving over hate and is definitely far from worst movies of Bollywood. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review bikash h It's a terrible movie. It's just been 20 mins I started watching and its so bland and looks fake. Characters have no continuity . Direction is terrible. Characters don't hold up. It's probably one of the worst movies I have seen. Varun dhawan is awful. Waste movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Bimal P Inspite of all the critics giving the movie 1-star, I think the movie is great. There is all this outcry of dragging in Nazi history and trivializing it. I don't think it trivializes it - in fact for me, I learnt a few things about the history. You read about it in the books here and there but having the movie visualize some of those moments actually gives an exposure to history. I also liked the brave portrayal of a woman living with disease and managing it - just because she has some disease, she is not defective - that I think is a great message for narrow-minded people. And the movie does have a few funny moments. And even if somebody doesn't like the movie - there is a real gem to be found in the movie and that is Arijit singh's song - "Tumhe Kitna Pyaar Karte". I am not one of those people who love every song sung by Arijit Singh - but this particular song has to be in my opinion is the best song of this year. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review MM A Well make movie and has some learning for all. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/11/23 Full Review John B Well worth watching. And fun. Yes, there were some very unusual metaphors but nothing that someone with a little cultural curiosity can't handle. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/23 Full Review Khalandar Sha K I don't know what the critics are finding wrong with the movie. The public are loving the movie. I suggested someone to see and they were so happy too once they saw. A feel good film with unique blending on world war 2 history. From start to end I really enjoyed the film. Simply panning the film critically. But the audience is loving this movie. Watch this movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
