I’ve generally not been keen on Varun Dhawan movies — maybe it’s my general dislike of the kind of movies his Dad used to make seeping through, or maybe it’s because most Varun Dhawan movies I’ve seen have had him playing comedic roles without much weight.

But “Bawaal” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19755170/) is a movie which changed my opinion of him. It’s an interesting and impactful movie in many levels.

Based on the description, I expected a war movie and half didn’t watch it since I dislike war movies intensely. But this was good, it talks about war, the impact I has on people, but it’s also about society, how we want to portray ourselves, relationships, and a lot more.

While this part gets a little lost in the rest of the story, it’s also about teaching and teachers. That’s something I’ve loved since “To Sir, With Love” and while this is not on the same level, it does have some of the same impact, in a way.
