The movie follows the couple as they go to different World War II places in Europe. Their trip ends with a trip to Auschwitz, the famous Nazi death camp. Here, they think about how terrible it was for the Jews during Hitler's effort to kill them all.
This makes them rethink their ideas about life and marriage. But a conversation between Kapoor and Dhawan in which they compare problems in a relationship to Auschwitz has gotten a lot of attention. Critics say that making such a comparison is inappropriate, given how important and terrible the Holocaust was in history.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper of SWC took the matter seriously and wrote a message to Prime Video asking them to take the film down. In a tweet, the Israeli Embassy also said that they were upset about how 'Bawaal' made the Holocaust seem silly. They said that the movie might have had good goals, but that it shouldn't have used that kind of language. Their tweet led to a call for Indians to learn more about how horrible the Nazis were and how many Jews they killed.

In reaction, Varun Dhawan asked why the outrage was only about a few works, pointing out that no one was upset about 'Oppenheimer.' Even though there was a lot of backlash, the movie has gotten a lot of support from the general public, who praise the interesting story and great acting by the lead stars.
The discussion about 'Bawaal' keeps going, with people arguing for artistic freedom and the need for responsible writing when talking about important historical events. As the talk moves forward, it is still important to have a thoughtful conversation and show respect for the feelings of those who are hurt by such representations.
