Plot
Due to his philosophy of ‘fake it until you make it,’ Ajay Dikshit, an image-conscious narcissist who teaches history at a school in Lucknow, despises his lie-filled life despite the awe and admiration others have for him. Nisha, his attractive and brilliant wife, suffers from epilepsy, and he hasn't let her out of the house for fear that her 'episodes' will affect his reputation.
When one of his students, Atul Raghuvanshi, whom he slaps in frustration over a question about World War II, turns out to be the son of MLA Vishwas Raghuvanshi, he finds himself and his reputation in jeopardy.
Ajay takes Nisha with him as he travels across Europe to locations that hold crucial significance for the war. This takes them on an adventure that will teach them about life and history while also reshaping their outlook on interpersonal conflict and how they interact with others.

Reviews
This movie tells the story of a limited man who is rescued by his considerably superior wife. A significant portion of the film is totally pleasant. Varun portrays a fool to the greatest degree, and Janhvi portrays Nisha with maturity. You can never embrace their relationship, but what's even more difficult to accept is how often the worst period in European history is used to advance their romance.
Of course, Western films have done something similar in the past with the histories of other countries, so it's something of a learning experience to watch it being done in the opposite direction. It is unfortunate that the rest of the movie is so short on fun, spirit, humour, and charm that the film's shockingly bad taste is the only thing that stands out.

Character Analysis

Ajay Dikshit (Varun Dhawan)
Ajay is a history teacher from the vibrant city of Lucknow in northern India. At first glance, he appears to be a tough cookie, projecting an aura of confidence and perfection. Students at his school are in awe of him and willingly allow him to slack off during lessons, believing he possesses an unspoken brilliance that supersedes traditional teaching methods. This facade, however, hides a deeper insecurity within Ajay.
In reality, Ajay Dikshit is a man desperate to maintain an image of control and success. The truth is he feels inadequate in his teaching abilities and fears being exposed as a fraud. His reputation in the city is built upon this manufactured myth, and he clings to it fiercely, as if it were the foundation of his entire existence.
-
Nisha Dikshit (Janhvi Kapoor)
Nisha is Ajay's wife. She is a woman of remarkable intelligence, surpassing her husband in every aspect. Nisha is a brilliant mind, but her potential is suppressed under the shadow of Ajay's carefully crafted persona. Even though she might rise on her own, she remains grounded at his demand. Ajay fears that Nisha's occasional seizures, or 'fits' as he calls them, could tarnish his carefully cultivated reputation.

Controversy
Due to its very insensitive and controversial use of historical metaphors, particularly those relating to the Holocaust, Bawaal became engaged in a whirlwind of controversy.
The film's central characters, portrayed by Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, are confronted with the disturbing statement that "every relationship goes through its Auschwitz," drawing a troubling comparison between the challenges in their marriage and the unspeakable atrocities of the concentration camps during World War II.
The use of such a metaphor within the context of a romantic drama stirred outrage and was opposed by critics, historians, and audiences alike.
