Bawaal, currently streaming on Prime Video, was one of the highly-anticipated films of director Nitesh Tiwari. Expectations from Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer were sky-high after watching the film’s trailer. However, this romantic drama that is set in the backdrop of World War II has garnered mixed reactions from critics. Some of them have labelled the storyline of Bawaal as ‘confusing’, whilst a few others have praised the performances of the star cast. Take a look at some of the reviews below shared by critics on Bawaal. Bawaal Movie Review: Varun Dhawan and Jahnvi Kapoor Take You Through a Tedious European Tour in This Nitesh Tiwari Film.

India TV – Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, who earlier won applauds for films like Dangal and Chhichhore,  fails to do any bawaal with its confusing storyline. The film tries to put out myriad messages. By the end of the film, you won’t even care about the performances.

News18 – Tiwari does a wonderful job of letting the audience understand the nature of his characters — the good and the bad.Once again Varun Dhawan is a revelation. He is wonderfully restrained, effortless and delivers a mature and refined performance.Janhvi is growing from strength to strength with each of her films.

ABP – One can have a really hard time understanding 'Bawaal' and making something of it. It felt that the filmmaker tried too hard to justify this idea of a plot to even himself. In creating a film set on the premise of World War II backdrop, and mixing it with the temporality of this day's Lucknow; the filmmaker forgot what the final film would look, feel and suggest.

Pinkvilla – Varun Dhawan’s character has an emotional arc that he beautifully portrays on screen, making redemption an earnest emotion to feel via his character. Janhvi Kapoor’s subtle yet impactful performance leaves a mark, making Nisha her best screen outing so far.

India Today – Saddled by the weight to be more than just your average romantic drama, Bawaal staggers throughout the duration of the film and ultimately ends on an all too predictable note with nothing new to add to the conversation about either war or love.
