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.

Bad female lead selection
bad as bollywood is
Unsensible.
The film, one of the last trashy bollywood reels, trivialises the suffering and systematic murder of millions. And, as the Jewish community as righteously stated, "is an insensitive portrayal of the Holocaust!."
The use of the Holocaust imagery and dialogue was in bad taste.
The actors are playing so bad that, after first minutes of watching, it became unbearable.
I am surprised that also that the indian spectators, that usually enjoy this kind of trash, have criticized the title as well.
Auschwitz should not be used as a metaphor as it's a quintessential example of man's capacity for evil.
Wow what a hoax of a movie.
Tough to imagine Nitesh Tiwari doing a movie like this. He s one person I have high hope from. I don't think even he will want this to be on his profile. Quite a illogical twist to have a reputed Indian filmmaker decide to use WW II to base his Indian love story which has nothing to do with it and end up getting more disturbed by WW II events than the citizens of those countries. Killer logic.. What has the name Bawaal got to do with the movie? WW II? Really? What's the dialogue used in other hindi movies...Dimag se paidal..does the filmmaker think the audience is dumb enough to fall for this? Ajiu bhaiya is so smart that he has fooled all interviewers who have ever interviewed him for his job. Anne Frank s tragedy, WW II, gas chamber...what the hell is going on...combined with zero chemistry between the lead pair...Varun and Jahnvi...leads us to zero...Story does not make much sense. Even if there were some emotional moments, audience doesn't connect. Considering the directors last work had super high expectations.. he was sensible to release this on OTT or else it would have been disaster ... You just can't relate to the movie. Just avoid! Or recommend to people you don't like. Looking at the number of high rankings this movie has got...I would pay to see interviews of people who have rated this movie 10. That I am sure would make for some really good viewing. More fun than the movie. Poor Direction, Poor Screenplay, Poor story line. The comedy was forcefully slid in between the scenes. Everything since the beginning was like pretentiously trying to make scenes funny. It makes you think why is this, what is this, was this meant to be funny, or emotional. There are no good bollywood films anymore these days feeling sorry for this industry, what happened to them why don't they make good films anymore, do movies like this even generate profit?
