Jewish Human Rights Organisation Denounces Varun Dhawan’s Film ‘Bawaal’ For Its “Outlandish Abuse Of The Holocaust”

Bawaal, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, received criticism from some viewers for a scene that was modeled after Auschwitz, a Nazi concentration camp. Since Bawaal trivializes the “suffering and systematic murder of millions of victims of the Nazi Holocaust.” A Jewish charity has issued an open letter to Prime Video requesting that it remove the film.

Remove Bawaal from Prime Video

The film Bawaal was requested to be taken down by Prime Video after the request by Simon Wiesenthal Centre (SWC). This is a human rights organization devoted to the memory of those who perished in the Nazi Holocaust. This was because of the movie’s “outlandish abuse of the Nazi Holocaust as a plot device.”

Nitish Tiwari, the director of the movie

The statement read, “The film’s storyline, which is set in contemporary times, culminates in sequences in which the protagonists enter a gas chamber in Auschwitz and are smothered while wearing striped attire. The film is directed by well-known Indian filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari. In the movie, Hitler is used as a metaphor for human avarice. The main character tells his wife, “We’re all a little like Hitler, aren’t we?

What did Rabbi Cooper say in his letter?

In an open letter, Rabbi Abraham Cooper of SWC attacked the movie and its director, Nitesh Tiwari, claiming that “Auschwitz is not a metaphor. It is the best illustration of how evil humans are capable of being. Nitesh Tiwari trivializes and demeans the memory of millions of people who suffered at the hands of Hitler’s homicidal regime by having the protagonist of this film say that

“Every relationship goes through their Auschwitz.” He continued, “If the filmmaker’s purpose was to get PR for their movie by purportedly filming a fantasy segment at the Nazi death camp, he has succeeded.
