While Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor and Nitesh Tiwari have defended Bawaal, it seems some are really not impressed. As we know, the couple traveled to all the World War II locations in Europe and their journey ended at the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz. There they imagine the plight of the Jews who were exterminated by Hitler and decide to change their views on life and marriage. Janhvi Kapoor tells Varun Dhawan that every relationship goes through its own Auschwitz. The dialogue made people see red. Many feel it is tone deaf to compare marriage problems to what is perhaps the worst crime against humanity.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper of SWC has written to Prime Video to take down the film. Now the Israeli embassy has published a tweet that is disturbed by the trivialization of the Holocaust in Bavaal. They said that while the film may be well-intentioned, the use of terminology is not really appropriate. They urged Indians to educate themselves about the horrors of the Nazi regime and how thousands of Jews were massacred. Check out the tweet here…
The Israeli Embassy is troubled by the trivialization of the Holocaust in the recent film Bavaal.
There were poor choices in the use of some terms in the film, and while we assume there was no malice, we urge anyone who may not have…

Indians understand the pain of Jews, seems a bad choice by the film makers

Honestly for me it was a huge refresher on the barbaric and unimaginable atrocities the Jews had to go through… Did it leave me shaken?

I agree with you; unfortunately, mainstream Bollywood has very little sense of history or perspective.

Varun Dhawan said the outrage seems to be selective. He said no one has a problem with Oppenheimer, but there is a problem with Bavaal. The film received a lot of love from the general public who liked the story of the two main characters and their acting.
