Mumbai, July 21 (Ians) Films based on marital discord or on relationship issues have been made a dime a dozen, all trying to look at the cracks in the intimate bond between a man and a woman from a new — often not-so-new — and different perspective.
In ‘Bawaal’, Director Nitesh Tiwari attempts to explore yet another side to marriage in which the man is more concerned about his public image rather than his personal, and refuses to see reason.
For him, all that matters most is the impression people have of him as an infallible perfectionist. So far so good.
A loser all the way, he seldom falters or else his well-cultivated facade of faultlessness could misfire. But that the chinks in his armour could have a detrimental effect and ruin him is not something he is prepared for.

Bawaal(Prime Video)
Exactly at what point in time does a motion picture become an emotionpicture? Bawaal leaves you bewildered in a good way. It is ambitious audacious and not afraid to take risks.
It is risky , yes. But then cinema that plays it safe is guilty of ignoring the rudimentary rule laid down by the great filmmakers: every film should have something to take home beyond entertainment. Contemporary cinema seldom does.
But Bawaal does. It tells us much about mending a fracture relationship and the relationship between history and interpersonal dynamics. Writers Nitesh Tiwari, Piyush Gupta, Nikhil Malhotra, and Shreyas Jain put their heads together for a story that takes you along from Lucknow to Paris, and beyond without making a song and dance of it. Although the film visits four European spots—Paris, Normandy, Berlin and Auschwitz—it does not wear a touristic look. For this, credit must...

Uri
Starring Vickey Kaushal, Mohit Raina, Paresh Rawal, Yami Gautam
Written & Directed by Aditya Dhar
Wars often rage within the soldiers’ hearts, specially when they belong to army families. In one of this significant war film’s highpoints, Major Vihaan Singh Shergill, played by the self-effacing Vicky Kaushal, gathers his troop together somewhere in Kashmir before striking surgically in the country next door.
These are soldiers who have lost loved ones in terror attacks,and their blood boils.
Uri brings the blood of cross-border tension to a boil but avoids a spillover. There is a rush of patriotic pride in the product—and why should there not be?—but it is reined-in, curbed and never allowed to spill over in a gush of irrepressible jingoism. If you want to see soldiers dancing around a bonfire singing about how much they love their country and how much miss their loved ones,...
