Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's Bawaal is now streaming on Prime Video. The film shows the couple travelling to Europe to learn about World War II events in detail, while the subplot links their visits to their relationship status. Netizens are extremely unhappy with the misuse of the Holocaust in insensitive manners. It's no secret that people are literally slamming those scenes and dialogues. Have a look at a few reactions below:

An Auschwitz survivor's story about his separation from his wife at the concentration camp makes Varun Dhawan realise what separation from your partner actually means.
Bawaal is tone-deaf on so many levels.

According to Nitesh Tiwari, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and the rest of #Bawaal's writing team an unhealthy relationship is the same as The Holocaust, which resulted in the death of millions of people. oh also, anyone who is greedy is like Hitler.

Comparing tribulations and problems in a marriage to Auschwitz mass genocide is the lowest a Bollywood movie has ever stooped to. If a Hollywood movie, it would have been cancelled forever. Wtf were the Amazon people smoking when they green lit this?#Bawaal #BawaalOnPrime
