Bawaal

Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor led Bawaal is a complicated story in the simplest yet beautiful manner. Ajay seems to be in a forced relationship with Nisha in order to keep his ‘perfect image’ intact. An unexpected turn in his life, prompts him to revisit the horrors of World War 2. This period changes their perspective towards love, life and brings out the best of them. Apart from the self-discovery, the film also manages to shed light on a neurological disease sensitively.
