Bawaal Movie Review
Bawaal: An Ambitious Misfire that Fails to Live Up. Despite its ambitious narrative and A-list cast, Bawaal fails to deliver a satisfying viewing experience. Its convoluted plot, the underwhelming performances from the lead cast, the lack of depth in the story arc, and the misplaced attempt to blend historical references into an already complex storyline are reasons why it scores a disappointing 2 out of 5 rating. The film’s inability to fully realize its potential, despite the tantalizing glimpses of depth and drama, leaves audiences wanting more. As such, its lofty aspirations end up as its own Achilles’ heel.
