ControversyIn response to the scenes from ‘Bawaal’, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, a Jewish human rights organisation, has said that Amazon Prime must stop monetising such representation.Twitter/AmazonPrimeIndiaBollywood film Bawaal, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has triggered outrage over a few scenes depicting Auschwitz–Nazi Germany’s largest concentration camp-turned-memorial dedicated to Holocaust victims. In the film’s trailer, the lead couple, played by Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, are seen visiting Auschwitz. In another scene, viewers say that a dialogue compares the upheavals in their marriage to the Holocaust saying, “Every relationship goes through their own Auschwitz.” Viewers have also pointed out several other scenes that intercut enactments of World War 2 with arguments between the couple as their marriage seems to fall apart. Yet another dialogue that has sparked controversy claims that “everyone has a bit of Hitler inside them.” A nightmare sequence that shows Janhvi Kapoor’s character trapped...

Mumbai, July 24 (Ians) Sajid Nadiadwala, the visionary Indian film producer, has mesmerised global audiences with his diverse and unique films.

With an exceptional ability to blend genres, Sajjd Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment has made significant contributions to Indian cinema, delivering powerful storytelling and unforgettable entertainment experiences.

His recent outing ‘Bawaal’, which has been released on Ott in 200 countries, is receiving immense love worldwide.

Let’s take a look at the remarkable and varied filmography of Sajid Nadiadwala, showcasing his expertise in different genres.

Self-Discovery

‘Highway’ and ‘Tamasha’ were two thought-provoking films produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. ‘Highway,’ directed by Imtiaz Ali, follows the journey of a young girl who discovers herself after being kidnapped. ‘Tamasha,’ starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, explores self-discovery, identity, and the pursuit of one’s passion. Both films tackled unconventional subjects, sparking engaging discussions among audiences.

Romantic

In 2014, ‘2 States,’ based on Chetan Bhagat’s bestselling novel,...

Married life is a razor’s walk and in the modern times it demands more understanding, more give-and-take and the male ego has to be more condescending in the initial stages to allow the relationship to grow.

To maintain a façade and to then to have a reality check and reform subsequently is the core edifice of Nitesh Tiwari directed and Sajid Nadiadwala produced Bawaal. After a long time a film has tried to position a malice of the society-epilepsy, more so if a woman is the sufferer of the infliction.

Watching the movie I was reminded of the same story which I witnessed while I was studying, A relative’s wife suffered from epilepsy, though she was a post graduate, of her times. The husband never tried to be by her side, and she was kicked out. Fortunately she got a new partner who understood her predicament and the...

Romantic comedies never go out of style. Especially in the Hindi cinema space, we have been exposed to countless films in this genre, so much so that this whole genre has cultivated another subgenre, romantic comedies based in small towns in our country. Only a handful of them clicked with the audience. Bareilly ki Barfi, Badhaai Ho, Sui Dhaga, and Dum Laga ke Haisha are some examples of well-executed romantic comedies set in rural India where the essence was never lost. Nitesh Tiwari’s Bawaal a Prime Video Original, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, brings to the table the tale of two people with two different opinions about life who cross paths through their marriage.

Bawaal, loosely translated to chaos, is about Lucknow-based Ajay Dixit, fondly known as ‘Ajju bhaiyya.’ He is a young, dashing history teacher at a local school who is so caught up in building his...
