Bawaal

 Bawaal (transl. Commotion) is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Nitesh Tiwari, and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Earthsky Pictures. It stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor as a troubled married couple.

The tale begins in present day Lucknow, where the scene is set for our protagonist, Ajay ‘Ajju’ Dixit (Varun Dhawan), to make his heroic entry on his bike, catching the attention of the locals in his neighbourhood. Why? Because our Ajju, we are told, is conscious of his 'image' more than anything else in the world.

He works as a primary history teacher in the city, but how he got the job is still a 'mystery.' In reality, he is a good-for-nothing man-child and a pathological liar. He is married to Nisha (Janhvi Kapoor), an intelligent woman, who has epileptic fits. Nisha has told this to Ajju, who is too ashamed to take her out of the house fearing that the world would come to know about the truth and his ‘image’ would suffer.

Filming took place in multiple countries from April to August 2022. Initially scheduled for a theatrical release, Bawaal received a streaming release on Amazon Prime Video on 21 July 2023.
