"This movie left much to be desired. Despite its high rating, I found it lacking in entertainment value. It's puzzling how anyone could give it a 5-star review. There seems to be a prevalence of fake reviews, especially considering the empty theaters during its screening. The plot was filled with non-relatable drama, and the unnecessary stretching of the movie left me disengaged. Moreover, the musical parodies of legendary old Hindi songs were disappointing, detracting from the overall experience. The intended message behind the film was unclear and failed to leave a lasting impact."

Go for it if you are looking for a light family entertaining movie. "Bawaal" is an electrifying rollercoaster of emotions, skillfully directed by Nitish Tiwari, known for his exceptional storytelling abilities. Building on the success of his previous popular movies like "Dangal" and "Chhichhore," Tiwari once again delivers a cinematic masterpiece. The movie impresses with its heartfelt storytelling, outstanding performances, and well-executed action sequences. Although it occasionally falters in pacing, the film's ability to blend humor and drama makes it a must-watch cinematic experience that leaves audiences thoroughly entertained.

"The movie features a strong cast, with Gajraj Rao delivering an exceptional performance as always. However, it falls short in maintaining audience engagement throughout the entire duration. While some punchlines were effective, the characters portrayed by the cast lacked relatability. Kartik Aaryan, although a talented actor, seemed to be primarily utilized for his looks and physical presence, which felt out of place in this serious, normal family drama. His frequent shifts between his famous smile and typical intense look seemed somewhat forced. Additionally, it has become a common trend in Bollywood to take a social issue as a backdrop but unnecessarily stretch the film to fill the runtime. It's important to have substantial content for a two-hour movie, rather than relying on excessive songs to complete it, which seems pointless. The film appeared to have reached its conclusion before the Pasoori song, but then it restarted abruptly, leaving the climax pending. The inclusion of the song at that particular moment felt unnecessary. During the discussion between SatyaPrem(Kartik) & Katha(Kiara), it would have been more appropriate to address core issues and have him pursue legal action, rather than introducing the Pasoori song. This song could have been placed at the end instead."
