Negative reviews
Other critics have criticized Bawaal's tone-deaf treatment of World War II. The Indian Express's reviewer wrote that "Bawaal's treatment of World War II is tone-deaf and insensitive. The film compares marriage to the horrors of Auschwitz, and it trivializes the suffering of millions of people." The reviewer also criticized the film's unwanted comparisons of marriage with the horrors of Auschwitz, writing that "Bawaal's comparison of marriage to Auschwitz is not only insensitive, but it is also inaccurate. Marriage is not a concentration camp, and it is not a place of suffering."
